You'd think that, as reasonably smart people, you might stop and ask questions such as:

- Is this permitted within Apple's T&C's?

- What are the privacy issues? More so if I'm not fully informing my users we're intercepting their data via VPN (I don't know if that's made clear via author's T&C's or during installation)

- Even if all of the above were not concerns, am I able to properly secure user's data (against say state actors)

....even before going ahead and developing an app such as this.

Operating a VPN isn't any different than an ISP. Should that be a concerns for ISP too?

Most traffic nowadays is over HTTPS either way, so if that was even a concern, the ISP or VPN wouldn't be the cause of it, but the actual communication in itself.
