Other embodiments are described and claimed.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor circuit; a communications component operative on the processor circuit to manage a connection for a client, the connection routed over a network; a traffic analysis component operative to determine one or more characteristics of the routing of the connection based, at least in part, on performing an encrypted exchange with a plurality of routing points of the connection, the encrypted exchanges including public-key based verification of identifying information of the plurality of routing points, the one or more determined characteristics comprising a physical location of any routing points of the routing of the connection; and a network control component operative to present a user with one or more of the determined one or more characteristics and to query the user as to whether to block the connection.
