- JackSlateur 2y agoThere are lots of ways to disable vpn : basic firewall on the router, if you have access ARP poisoning if you do not.
- Aloisius 2y agoYes, but this disables a user's VPN without alerting the user. Firewalling off their VPN service would cause a visible connection failure.
- fargle 2y agoif you are on a public wifi, particularly if you can control an evil dhcp server, there are sooo many other ways to attack someone's pc client and network. this is just another. it doesn't even seem that unexpected.
- vel0city 2y agoBut this heavily undermines one major selling point VPN providers use: safety on public wifi and other untrusted networks.
