alt Hacker NewsThat is exactly the point of public VPNs..
If I'm on a public VPN, I don't want anyone to know who is making the request, including the terminating IP.
Think about it. By your logic, VPNs shouldn't be used for torrents because VPNs shouldn't anonymize you to the terminating IP. Whereas they work gangbusters for that.
If you are talking about private VPNs.. Mullvad isn't one.
