Is SSL encryption to the Usenet provider enough to stay safe, or is purchasing a VPN to cover traffic, which still transmits through the ISP and modern firewalls can do packet inspection, leading me to believe that a simple port mirror would allow them to capture anything necessary to rebuild a downloaded collection. Does the VPN completely secure and negate those concerns? Thanks for any advice. I'm sure it's been asked 1000 times already.
