So long as you keep all of your traffic encrypted, no one’ll be able to snoop on it, though they could already see destinations/type of traffic. Anyone who controls a VPN start or end point can see anything that tcpdump can reveal.

I have most of the various books and I think I have the whole archive between them…it was the first comic I read every day when it ran. I had a newspaper route at one point and I loved being able to read the Sunday strip a few days before it ‘officially’ came out.

You’re usually aware you’re watching a toy commercial as the stories are not all that compelling or interesting. The characters are fun (mostly), but the scripts are usually phoned in, everything is predictable…any of the magic of G4 is long gone, which is unfortunate.
