Some friends have safety concerns that mean they need to appear digitally as if they’re inside the USA while being elsewhere physically. Standard commercial VPNs are easy to detect (else I’d recommend Mullvad), so they need an option that looks like a residential connection.
They could potentially DIY it by leaving a VPN server at a relative’s house, but I’m asking here for subscription services. It’s best if they have a Mac OS app that’s foolproof, with a clear visual indication that it’s in use, and a feature to block traffic if the VPN is disconnected.
tl;dr: what’s the closest residential VPN to Mullvad?
This is similar to what I had in mind. I was thinking of software and a paid subscription while this is a hardware device with free access. It does appear to reward people for acting as exit nodes in a more or less ethical manner (depending on how you feel about weird cryptocurrencies).
