good. fuck VPNs (other than for business purposes)
What's wrong with VPNs for personal use? Serious question; I've never seen someone opposed to them.
people use them to mask their identity and attack others online
What’s your real name and address?
Seems like you’re using 1985MustangCobra to mask your identity. We should ban all online usernames and tie everything to a digital Id
that's not the same, if i was commit a hate crime for example, on this profile, and the police investigated it, they can get my ip address from my client connection. however, someone doing the same and masking their ip address with a VPN to like, i dunno, sweeden but they live in the UK, is a big problem when VPN providers make bold claims of "protecting your identity"
Getting an IP isn't even enough since the average user has a dynamic IP resolving to a box or center nearby but not yheir actual home address. They'd have to subpeona the ISP, which isn't necessarily compelled to comply.
Hell, my IP doesnt even resolve to the same city I am in.
Here ips resolve to neighborhoods
You’ll be happy to learn that most don’t protect anything.
They have tons of legitimate uses
That's one small use case. There are many other legitimate uses for them. Seems a bit odd to be so against them because they might possibly be used for nefarious purposes. Have you personally been victimized by a VPN user?
People do that even more without a VPN.
You sound scared. You don’t have to be online if there is too much risk of you getting your feelings hurt, you can just go touch grass. Even the people you don’t like have a right to privacy.
I think alot of people online need to touch grass.
I think you should probably take your own advice.
i do touch a lot of grass. just cut the lawn today, front and back.
