Filter the traffic for specific
IPs/networks/etc (eg by playing some BGP
games) through transparent
proxies and redirect "forbidden" traffic to a
suitable target (or
/dev/null).
Yes, that is an engineering challenge, but
feasible.
Yes, that is a legal challenge, but it can be done in ways
compatible
with constitutional rights and contractual
obligations.
Yes, that contradicts many fundamental principles of how
many people
perceive the Internet, but that is a weak argument in public
discussion.
Yes, judges from the canton of Vaud seem to be
specifically incompetent
and impertinent, but this can not be corrected
by whining on a techie
mailing list.
Note that I'm far from
endorsing or supporting such decisions, but that
I'm just asking for more
effective ways to unmask the short-sightedness
of the judges
orders.
