As you all probably know covert surveillance of civilians is a disease in the KHALEEJ (arabian peninsula),

Are these boards monitored ? Do UAE authorities monitor all internet activities throughout the country ?

Does du or etislat sniff out all internet packets ? are VPN's effective ? what about TOR ?

Which one of you regulars are with the authority ?

Any suggestions to stay safe ?

Pretty please ?

Do bears poop in the woods?

Are the Kennedys gun shy?

The TRA has packet sniffing technology and probably one or two staff who know how to use it. They have access to Yahoo Mail & Hotmail but not yet Gmail (but perhaps that has changed in the last 12 months). They use a UK based Software Co to do the scans and it is done on the fly - its a combination of keyword search and more importantly contextual inference ...

VPN's do work, Du doesn't.

UAEKid would love use to believe he is a secret squirrel, but come on there HAS to be a semblance of intelligence to get into that club and I for one have a great problem believing he would pass a urine test, let alone an IQ test :)

Stay safe ?? Hmmm, Inmarsat satelite based broadband, US or European based VPN, set up a remote email server route all emails via a remote blind server in Tel Aviv,

and finally wear a purple fedora at all times ;) lest you be mistaken for our resident spy, Herve!

Dubai forums is a public forum so as such it may well be monitored by the Authorities.
