The difference is that TFLASH is the official GeekShed client, and it connects directly to the network. Since Verizon blocks the network, TFLASH cannot connect via Verizon. The Verizon block doesn’t change the reality that TFLASH is a web client.

Mibbit operates as a proxy. You connect to Mibbit, and then Mibbit connects to GeekShed. Verizon only knows that you are connecting to Mibbit. They can’t follow your connection after that.

The client is not really a web client. For example, Verizon blocks GeekShed IRC connections most of the time. I can’t use the TFLASH client when this happens. But the Mibbit client still works regardless. Just wanted to post my experiences.

I would say it is very likely that Mibbit logs personal and private data without the users consent.

However, please read Mibbits blog for clarification of what happened, Mibbit doesn’t log anything without permission; http://blogspot.mibbit.com

To say anything else is irresponsible, particularly ‘russian proxy’? :/
