<h1>Coming soon:  Encryptthe.net</h1>
<p>This site will talk about the easy steps you can take to encrypt your traffic on the internet.  Encrypting your traffic increases your privacy, keeps your data secure when using public access points and prevents ISPs and governments from illegally capturing and mining your traffic.</p>
<p>There will be different sections for people of different technical levels from end-users to the web masters to system administrators.</p>
<p>Protect your data, encryptthe.net!</p>
<p>Why would I need to encrypt my internet traffic?</p>
