Yep for anyone unaware of how awful things truly are, look up what a "residential proxy" is. Back in my day we called that a botnet.

  Oh, they're still botnets. We just look the other way because they're useful. And they're pretty tame as far as computer fraud goes - if my device gets compromised I'd much rather deal with it being used for fake YouTube views than ransomware or a banking trojan.

  You can make a little bit of cash on the side letting companies use your bandwidth a bit for proxying. You won’t even notice. $50/month. Times are tough!

    Of course the risk here being whatever nefarious or illegal shit is flowing through your pipes, which you consented to and even received consideration for.

      No worries it’s encrypted traffic
