And why do you assume everyone including hot girls & popular girls aren't already capable of installing their own VPNs? Unless of course you mean the high school nerd is going to pay for our VPN service, then come on over!

aren’t already capable

Anyone who can read and follow directions is capable

Most people can't install a VPN, including hot or cold girls

It’s more like most people are unwilling to find or read directions. Most people can do most things nowadays. They’re just unwilling to try.

This shit is like saying most people can't connect to wifi. It's not exactly rocket science.

Most people can’t install a VPN,

My guy, do YOU know how to set up a VPN?

I’m sure some do. I haven’t talked to many high school girls lately.

If this goes through and this happened when I was in school…that’d be a once in a lifetime opportunity. I’d probably never even think of it then. I’d probably luck into it by telling the rest of the nerd table at lunch, jock overheard, sell him my services, and then word of mouth from there.

That happening now…probably be the inspiration for the gen Z’s “American Pie”. Or “Superbad”.

Are you kidding? There isn’t a phone owning high schooler that doesn’t know how to vpn past their high school’s nanny software. You’re out of touch.
