We will still need VPNs to get good connectivity to other residential ISPs until some government entity (or market condition) inspires ISPs to invest in more hardware and peering with each other. CDNs and VPN providers are now sadly a requirement for the internet to work the way we expect it to.

- INGSOCIALITE 3y agoWith modern tech I should never have any identifier that doesn’t change whatsoever. Mac,ip,etc should randomize every nth second lol
- KAMSPioneer 3y agoIt's already possible (and quite easy) to assign a static IPv6 for incoming traffic e.g. webserver, then configure a private and constantly rotating IPv6 for all outgoing traffic.

- INGSOCIALITE 3y agoI second this motion
- edrxty 3y agoHow do VPNs improve connectivity between residential ISPs?
- _lvbh 3y agoNet neutrality is dead. For some reason, I get much faster torrent speeds with a VPN than without.
- 0x6c6f6c 3y agoNot OP, but I'd expect it's so that separate residential locations can communicate directly with another, bypassing limitations imposed by the ISP, double NAT, dynamic IPs, etc. Depending on region ISPs have purposefully blocked residential users from exposing public Internet services.
