- eximius 5y agoYes and no. It is more like we provide you a network interface that, instead of being plugged into your modem for Comcast/AT&T/etc, it's plugged into a datacenter. You get a public static IPv4/IPv6 connection with Reverse DNS - just located somewhere else. Making your machine publicly routable is the primary use case (e.g., for email, web, whatever you want if you have trouble with NAT/CGNAT or simply don't want your home IP associated with the service), but it also encrypts your traffic between your PC and our datacenter such that your ISP can't snoop - which is not to say we're a good privacy solution - that is not what our product is designed to do.
