    People can use this to look like local traffic.

      looks sketchy af

      corporate ew

      real trustworthy privacy/security/anonymization/decentralization software is libre, open source, non-corporate, an unpaid not-for-profit free-time project that never makes use of any money, decentralized with no official host, and most importantly made by trans anarchist catgirls who use obscure operating systems

      This seems a bit sketchy to me. How am I getting paid for participating when it’s completely free?

          So what legally protects a provider from prison if users view illegal content via my network?

            Reminds me of the guy who got his home raided and electronics seized for running a Tor exit node.

            https://www.zdnet.com/article/austrian-man-raided-for-operating-tor-exit-node/

            Seems risky and a huge legal hassle even if you don’t end up in prison.

              Exactly why the for project recommends doing exactly not that.

            They could run it on a Linux VPS. They might want to have a notice ready as if they were running a tor exit relay and let the host know.

      The problem for most users is: they actually want to look like traffic from somewhere else…

        I meant to say residential traffic of whatever country they connect to instead of a data center.
