soo many stupid things with this... but this one i thougt funny.. its like the poopholeloophole... restaurant wifi is exempt
I wonder if someone is going to go around chucking solar enabled pi’s onto the roofs of fast food joints and set them up with wireguard or headscale and sell it as proxy network.
I've been wanting to do this since 2013
Tossing self-powering rogue access points onto roofs to get around fascistic legal censorship by proxy of VPNs through McDonalds is one of the most we-have-entered-the-Matrix sentences ever.
Someone should submit this technique as an article to 2600
I’ll be honest, I’ve thought about doing this for a decade but I’ve never had a need to.
I love this idea 😆
Your loophole will be closed in a few months, by hook or by crook. Either local wifi admin will prevent piracy, or the isp will cut service.
ha, no sense throwing any real logic at this mess, it wont happen. they want to filter vpns.. hahahhaha right.
these people are so far removed from the tech and its implementation its actually funny. theyre trying to legislate a water-holding sieve, physics be damned. hilarious!
I'm not sure what the logic of excluding Wifi is from this; seems like you'd have to intentionally introduce a misunderstanding to justify it because it makes no sense.
