CyberFrog on Nostr: I mean yeah, basically everything exiting those places is dirty shit when it touches ...

I mean yeah, basically everything exiting those places is dirty shit when it touches my servers, but I see that as a side effect of them doing their job correctly and not monitoring all their users constantly

it's a bit like being upset that Tor nodes blast your network with malicious traffic... like yeah they do, because the point is that people shouldn't be aggressively monitoring that stuff so users have some amount of privacy

I'd say the government pulling down commercial services is a bit sketchy, although in this case it was clearly advertised as a criminal service with (I assume) very few legitimate customers, still does not fill me with confidence, I don't trust the government to designate services as criminal enterprises based on endpoint traffic and advertising alone either

the real issue is that VPN companies struggle to block malicious users after their endpoints get reported because finding the source of the traffic would defeat the point of the service existing (not aggressively monitoring what users do)

I think the VPNs not doing basic stuff like blocking DDoS attacks or obvious plaintext exploits to arbitrary services are probably falling a bit short, but not by that much considering the shit regular ISPs and hosting companies get away with too
