barry99705 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Which I do as mentioned earlier. IPCop's Blue network is intended to be this way. When I want to be on my green network I use my VPN. Exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunex Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 technically the cops wouldn't have to actually get on your network to sniff it in order to find out if someone is illegally accessing your connection. But it still is wiretapping. Also how do they know if you gave someone permission to access your network or not. I don't know if there has been a court decision on this or not, but I can not reasonably believe that "wardriving"(i.e. detecting the SSID broadcast) would be prohibited by the wiretapping laws. To be prohibited there would have to be an assumption of privacy, but only a moron would believe their SSID, and everything that goes with it, to be private. On the other-hand, if you had turned off your SSID broadcast, then the police would not even be able to comment at all on the presence of your wireless network. NOTE: I have done precisely zero research on this, and am writing purely from prior experience, and have had no law education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
