If you think it went from honeypot to non-honeypot

I don't think it was ever a honeypot, they contributed a lot to the early VPN communities, following both perfect-privacy and blackvpn.

VPN’s are for watching geoblocked movies and stuff like that. That’s about it.

I do not believe so, but to each their own.

No? Confused as to why you'd think that.

You just seem very passionate about the subject. Almost nobody would take that much time to argue in the favor of a small, relatively unknown VPN. But also you suggest that I'm incorrect when I say VPN's cannot be trusted ultimately. Only someone who was interested in maintaining the "VPN is private" illusion would say that.

Anyway, I don't care if you do work for a VPN or maybe even own your own. But it's gonna be hard to push it in privacy forums cuz there are a lot of people who know better. Well, there are also a lot of people who don't now that I think about it.... ;)
