tor does not apply to an NSA threat model; your low latency mix/onion == p0wn3d by NSA, sorry. from the FAQ they say as much: [6.7 http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ ] "As mentioned above, it is possible for an observer who can view large portions of the Internet (called a 'global adversary') to be able to correlate timings of all traffic entering and exiting the tor network, and thus link arbitrary users. Tor does not defend against such a threat model." that said, i think IPsec is a great idea in as many places as possible assuming your key distribution/exchange is well implemented.
