This is the sort of feature that could get me using Brave instead of Firefox. Great job by those guys, I've been wanting something like this for a while now!
I was thinking of approaching the white listing problem by whitelisting users, I. E. I share my node with friends I trust, and that gets propagated through the network depending on trust levels.
Trying to protect users through access control is foolish. It's like running a Tor exit from home.
How do you say VPN⁰ out loud? Would be good to clarify that in the opening paragraph.
Me, I'd just say zero.
This is not a new idea. Hola has been around for years. Trying to protect users through access control is foolish. It's like running a Tor exit from home.
1) Here users are using the bandwidth and it's not resold to companies like Hola does is with https://luminati.io. At least for now.
2) They whitelist domains, so they could only whitelist example.com and you know it's not like Tor where everything goes or Hola where someone is web scraping things through your IP.
How is it different from Cloudflares 1.1.1.1?
They have nothing in common. Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 is a DNS resolver.

I guess it's a bit different for two reasons: 1) Here users are using the bandwidth and it's not resold to companies like Hola does is with https://luminati.io . At least for now. 2) They whitelist domains, so they could only whitelist example.com and you know it's not like Tor where everything goes or Hola where someone is web scraping things through your IP.
That's not a bad idea, actually. Who maintains those whitelists and how do they get updated? If you want to make the web somewhat usable for others, is it enough to whitelist "google.com"/"youtube.com" only (for example)?
