And that’s perfectly fine - computers are a tool, enabling valuable usecases for everyone.

- yunohn 4y agoI fully agree that informed consent is necessary before funnelling connections for others, esp. given varying local laws around internet traffic responsibility. However, I also think this is the only way to bypass streaming sites blocking VPNs - the whole reason for using such a service in the first place. IMHO the shadiness is only around consent and not the means. Unfortunate, but such is reality.
