Sorry if it comes out as harsh, but there's nearly 100% chance of this getting abused and then blacklisted by anti-abuse vendors, which will in turn render it 100% useless. That's the path all these disposable services took, including things like Private Relay, Firefox something, etc. Can't have nice things
edit: typo
- yuvalkarmi 4y agoAlso, did Private Relay actually get blacklisted?
- asdadsdad 4y agoit got at least "detected" and provided as an API for people who query these things, and it does get filtered out as a kind of data center/low reputation IP class. But as with anything of this type, it's up to the client what to do with it. Most disposable infrastructure is not trustworthy for the exact reason that they don't associate an individual with a high-cost profile, i.e. at least a credible/high rep email, or an SMS-authed phone number, and so on. Of course there's always the argument that, if your revenue relies on defending against free-trial abuse, then maybe your product is not fit for a freemium model in the first place.

- yuvalkarmi 4y agolol, it does come off as a little harsh, but I do think it's reasonable to expect the main domain to get blacklisted at some point. Assuming there's some business model to figured out for this, alternative domains could always be added... For now I was just curious to put it out there and see how people respond / if it even gets used at all.
