   I see two big issues here.
   
   1) If I setup a PKT node, I'd modify it to collect all the information I possibly could from people who use it, just out of principal.
   
   2) This seems like an easy way for the feds to come bust down your door because someone downloads child porn through your node.

     Precisely. Anode requires that you TRAIN YOURSELF in the relevant technologies, and so is PKT and all the blockchains.
     
     Nail hit on head saying the only technology you can trust is the one you control. Your focus might be different, but my focus is to start migrating the DNS-based internet into something like https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns
     
     If you find Anode "stupid" you are not entirely familiarized with the potential to steer away from the Cisco IP routers. You do not accept the fact that IPv6 is a cluster-fuck, where the architects forgot the fact that routing an "unlimited pool" will be a "challenge".
     
     You said it brother, train yourself.

     I don't use a VPN. I just download things and hit some APIs and archive stuff, and that's enough for Cloudflair to flag my residential IP address (or maybe it's because I use Libreworlf with a user-agent switcher).

     This anode looks stupid. One of the article in my backlog is going to be titled "The Only VPN you can Trust is the One You Build Yourself."

     I do have a SOCKS5 proxy on one of my dedicated servers and a wireguard endpoint on a VM. I have pretty specific uses for both. At the same time, I realize they're not really private. Any ISP can monitor your VM through the hypervisor (although it's probably less likely this happens vs. paying for some commercial shit-vpn. Which ones are shit-vpns? ALL OF THEM!)

     Even with the dedicated server, a warrant or security letter from the nation its hosted in is usually all that's required for the data center to be forced to install hardware monitoring on-behalf of a government. But that's not that likely without specific targeting. However someone selling a VPN/proxy service specifically for privacy, is literally the easiest way to track people, log all their traffic, and defeat their privacy.

     @Zergling_man @djsumdog Oh they know. They simply don't want you using a VPN. It makes it ever so slightly more difficult to feed your info into their database for marketing.

     When you pair this with your own PKT node it is a game-changer, you become the ISP. This Fediverse node, pkteerium is hosted by its lead developer. I am just a guest here, but I have the Mini and I helped test Anode.
     
     I still use my own VPN routed over my own Debian nodes, but if you do not know how to do that Anode is something you want to try.

     They do this constantly, they have no idea how to detect bots. Install lynx, nothing of value was lost.
