As far as i see (and understand), i'm set up: I'm running on my
machine(s) tor; sometimes locally (squid3 -> privoxy -> tor) or, at
home, through an external torbox (a pi rasperry).

As for Sweden, you might be right. BUT: as an european, at least
theoretically, i'd have the chance to sue them (and if it's by the
european court in Luxembourg ;-) :badgrin:

Cheers!
