This is very cool, and very useful. For the average, non-technical user, Apple TV as an exit node for other device while traveling is super cool. But for someone who is out of the country for a duration, it's also super handy. Netflix knows all the popular VPN providers and ban hammers them on a regular basis. But being able to use my Apple TV to watch my normal Netflix (or whomever) from any other country... because they think I'm at home? Super win.

Network engineers watching rtt/packet latency very closely can still tell that something fishy is up, but Netflix doesn't really want to block VPNs, they just have to pretend to care enough so that the labels don't pull their content.

  If one forwards traffic through iCloud+ proxy to mask IP address, I wonder if it’s still possible to tell a VPN, from, say, a perfectly legitimate SpaceX satellite signal received on a boat… ;-)
