I was wondering, if I want to have a website and an email account that no totalitarian communist government will ever be able to see the contents of, or track the identity of the owner, what will I use?

On Rhodium, hushmail is advertised but it says it is american. It is free too, doesn't seem right to me. What happens if some sunglass wearing suits appear at Hush's doorstep and ask for the logs?

I prefer something thats hosted in a country where law enforcement types aren't going to knock on the door and make people disappear unless they fuck with the local warlords interests. What do you guys use for security? How about all the homepages about explosives?

Alas, my knowledge about internet security is limited to PGP and a firewall that I use to keep out hackers who want to DDOS nazi or government sites using my upload and thus my money.

I personally use xmail (www.xmail.net). You get 4MB mail, 4MB web space free. There are also upgraded accounts available, but those require money, which could lead to your identity being exposed.

I need a place that does not interfere with the content of my website. Also, it would be nice to have a proxie where no logs are kept, then any free email service suffices. But I trust no american or european company that says they keep no logs because they must.

You could try the Sealand data store - international waters, anything but kidie porn.

I think they are mostly for big financial types who want absolute surity that no government can steal all of the copies of the data, no matter what.

You could also try having some form of encrypted website. There are javascript based encryption systems that scramble the content of the source code utterly, and so you could prevent the server guys from seeing what was on the page, unless they pointed their web browser at it. You could stop them doing that by simple password protection, and they couldn't read the password since the sourcecode is javascript encypted! All they could do it turn it over to the feds, who couldn't read it either - hence they have total deniability...

Put it on a free webhost somewhere that isn't where you are, and you should be fine.

Do NOT try the sealand offshore international thing. They've stagnated and the original owners have left, basically all they're doing now is taking money and providing sh*tty service. Just so you know. It crapped out in 2003? There was a big spiel about it at the latest 2600 party.
