      So your suggestion is to convince a friend to let me tunnel all my Internet traffic through their connection, with no concern of uptime?

      I mean yeah, I guess that works, but is unreliable, and in some cases unobtainable.

      Seems like a paid service would be easier for quite a few folks.

        Or just the traffic you need to

        I’ve done this for people. With a good connection, it’s fine.

        This may shock you, but noncommercial relationships can be be helpful for fighting the oppression of corporate oligarchy.

          My non-commercial relationships are fine. I just don’t have the time or energy to teach non-self-hosters the ramifications of me connecting tailscale or wire guard on their machines.

          I guess you get a star sticker? Good for you that you have a solution that works for you, however it won’t work for most folks, and that doesn’t make them morons.
