Running newsreader traffic through a tunnel in addition to, or instead of, TLS on port 563. Since NNTP over TLS already hides content and group names from an access provider, the tunnel mainly changes which network observes the connection to the provider. It adds a hop, frequently costs throughput on high-speed lines, and has no effect on the provider's own records.
