I had an idea, although it's a bit off-the-wall: Could OnionCat be used<br>
to provide a traffic-analysis-resistant, "covert," and potentially<br>
anonymous VPN system?<br>
<br>
We've already seen VPN technology used for non-private purposes; a good<br>
example is gamers' heavy use of Hamachi (<a href="http://www.hamachi.cc" target="_blank">http://www.hamachi.cc</a>). Perhaps<br>
there might be some application of a similar system with the addition of<br>
an anonymity layer, though I can't think of any right now.<br>
<br>
Just food for thought. =:oD<br>

It works well, but is a bit slow most of the time.<br><br><br>
