    Do protocols solve the problem of every hop in between you and the destination has to pass through what amounts to someone else’s private property?

    Yes. End-to-end encryption solves that.

      Not even necessarily end-to-end, just encryption. And possibly encapsulation within an already allowed protocol, like it’s extremely common with HTTP these days.
