Not at all. Unless there are tons of people on that network who are using the same VPN as you, it would be trivial to figure out the endpoint.

- blendergeek 5y ago> Unless there are tons of people on that network who are using the same VPN as you, it would be trivial to figure out the endpoint. This is why I hedged my statement with "could be". While it's unlikely that this other condition is met, it is possible.
- Ansil849 5y agoYes, you're totally right. If the conditions are met that you are 1) behind a CG-NAT, and 2) a statistically significant sample of other users on that CG-NAT is using the same VPN node, then yes it "could be a very effective form of privacy" in this extremely unlikely and contrived example. But in most real-world cases, it is not.
