FreePN: Open-source peer-to-peer VPN service

So, wait... Let me get this straight-- This is a p2p VPN, so, it basically routes other people's potentially illegal activities through your own IP address, so you can do the same over other people's IP addresses? And they don't even mention that fact on the front page? Talk about disingenuous...

Like, goddamn, VPNs aren't THAT expensive. Not compared to, IDK, a lawyer, or missing a day of work because you're in a jail cell, trying to explain to some cop that you installed a program on your computer that let other people you don't know do random stuff on the internet over your internet connection without your own knowledge or involvement, and you aren't complicit in any way...

Exactly. There is no "hiding in the masses", there is no "plausible deniability" going on here. If someone downloads CP or terrorist manuals using your connection, try explaining that to the dumb cops that you were using a p2p distributed VPN and that it "honestly wasn't me officer".
