A VPN isn't a solution because it would only help the guilty. The innocent still fall victim to someone else jumping on their wifi and uploading stuff unVPNed.

A VPN isn't a solution because it would only help the guilty. The innocent still fall victim to someone else jumping on their wifi and uploading stuff unVPNed.
There is also the highly probable case of the IP address being shared by many people or switching to a new user mid day which does happen.
Something as trivial as the police forgetting to check what timestamp their website file upload date is in could easily result in getting the entirely wrong customer from the ISP.
- latexr 5y agoDid you mean to reply to the parent post instead?
- ixfo 5y agoOr police reading a timestamp from a website, not realising it's actually a non-local timestamp so offset by X hours, and then requesting based on the wrong timestamp. Fairly sure that's happened before.
- minitoar 5y agoOP said to route all traffic over the vpn at the router. If someone jumps on the wifi, they’re on the vpn.
- colejohnson66 5y agoI’d wager the majority of the population would have no idea how to do that. Even if they know how to use a VPN, all they probably know is to run the VPN program.
