Barrett Lyon, founder of DoxxNet, explains why he believes the internet's protocols are due for another wave of experimentation and why traditional VPNs only address part of the privacy problem.

The conversation also covers lessons from DDoS defense, internet mapping, and a career spanning networking and art.
