A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Whether they route only the browser or traffic or not, that is messing with my traffic routing, and that's dangerous. If they control the VPN exit node (but especially if they control that AND the browser), they can do almost anything they want with/ to your browser traffic.
Not sure what me serving out applications from my endpoint device has to do with this, but yes, I sometimes do (LAN games, netcat listeners, python servers, etc).
