Recommended Posts

What do you guys make of this?

Is this an attack on privacy and privacy-promoting services such as this or a "special case"?
Could this be used to "take down" Air?

It looks like that service was actively trying to help its customers doing very shady things. Criminals were its primary target audience. As such, it is not an attack on privacy but a small victory for justice. It teaches us that no VPN service lasts forever, especially those claiming they're "bulletproof".

With enough effort this can be used against any service. But why should anyone waste time and manhours for AirVPN? AirVPN targets everyday people like you and me and forbids some of the criminal use cases in the ToS.
