I agree, and it's hard for me to trust the VPN more than my own ISP. Like yeah, someone else on this public coffee shop wifi network can waste a whole day finding a couple of random victims. Does that actually happen, idk. Have huge, reputable VPNs been hacked before, yes, and there's much greater incentive there. Either way I won't know, so it feels like they're selling snake oil.
"Microsoft" and "security" also don't go together in my head.
- soulofmischief 4y agocoffee shop hacking is usually done in an automated, at-scale fashion, often with a remote device that doesn't require an operator to be present or paying attention. It uses lowest common denominator tactics. This VPN strategy is precisely for the lowest common denominator. I don't understand how something can feel like snake oil when you haven't researched your own questions. I can sow doubt on anything; is it always justified?
