I’ve been interested in tech that ensures privacy on the internet for a while but all the technologies I’ve encountered rely on rooting trafic through intermediate servers. In the case of VPN’s rooting to a server then trusting that company not to log your activity and in the case of tor/i2p rooting through servers/peers (and arguably trusting that aren’t enough of these being monitored to reconstruct the connection).

All of this obviously comes with a lot of inefficiency as VPN’s need twice the bandwidth and ip2/tor need 4x the badwidth due to the intermediate steps.

Are there any existing technologies which are able to

1. connect a computer to a server without intermediaries

and

2. without the server being able to identify the computer connecting to it
