What do you think about making #Hydraveil a decentralised #VPN (like npub1kslpksc9dn8dkvz0mjdhukg4h858k33d2gk59j4xghhdqdqrvz2st3j2lm) but with your anti-fingerprinting tech?

Thanks for writing in. There are some points to consider with p2p vpns. The first is that the upload speed for residential homes is significantly slower than download, and purposefully capped to prevent commercial use.
The second point is that residential homes actually have more surveillance than datacenters, not less. As the datacenters aggregate traffic to routers, that may or may not be tapped. Especially smaller datacenters are less monitored. Also, residential traffic often has to go through datacenters still to get to the homes. While homes have direct ISP monitoring.
The primary purpose of these types of residential home vpns is censorship. But there are alternatives that don’t have some of these negatives.
Finally, it is not logical for someone to be able to afford 1G bandwidth, but not have the 1 euro price of our VPN. I really think it’s unsustainable to expect us to develop services for free. And if the user can’t afford 1 euro, they’ve got to reevaluate their choices.
