...and this is why

pihole ain't enough
you dont buy skeezy shit off aliexpress
if your pirate box isn't self hosted, it's a prostitute :P

Honestly.... I'm kind of impressed at the level of fuckery that vSeeBox goes into. This is not just a random crypto mining bot... someone with real skills went to a fair bit of trouble to obfuscate things.

Impressive. Most impressive.

PS: don't buy vSeeBox - or do, with eyes wide open.
