Sure, my ISP in Australia modifies some traffic (how much I don't know 
because I haven't looked deeply) first detection of it I setup 
mitigation to secure my connection from tampering... where I care about it.

In my case they disabled https access so they could MITM... All my 
http(s) traffic now goes through a proxy, and all my network traffic now 
exits over a VPN connection to my network in a DC which hosts the top of 
my proxy server chain.

No, I'm saying if you can't trust ${ISP} to give you your FreeBSD source 
untampered with, you should not use ${ISP} as your ISP... don't give a 
t*** who ${ISP} is, if you can't trust it, don't use it or mitigate your 
trust issues by doing like me.

This argument is circular and pointless, if ${User} is downloading and 
compiling FreeBSD from source there is a pretty good chance they know a 
little more about Tor than 'I heard this app will allow me anonymity'... 
Seriously, you want anonymity and safety I have a device that I'll send 
you for free... Its lightweight and simple, it consists of two metal 
blades with a pivot in the middle.
