Oh, dear. Translated as best I can: a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a system wherein the user "tunnels" through using encryption that is based on a random number generator (in this case), which, if not random or otherwise compromised, allows realtime decryption by a third party who is capturing the packets.

Dang, that isn't much better. Sorry.

I do NOT trust the hardware RNG that many processor types have built in.

Just too tempting for government to bribe or threaten hardware manufacturers into weakening.

I build my own RNG using something like diode noise as a source.
