I found a reference to this via The Register - could the network techies here tell me:

a) Can we use this to test for interception?

b) How do we tell if it is happening?

c) If it is, can we use the logs as evidence for legal proceedings?

If the claims re CS telling people Phorm's live are true, then we may need to do something now - and perhaps do as little online banking/buying as possible until we know something.

Oh, nearly forgot to ask: would I need a VPN router to use a VPN client, or is it enough that my current (USR5461) router can handle VPN traffic? And if we all start using VPN, how long before HMG starts asking what we've all got to hide?
