Hi jwkane,

I'm sorry that you've been negatively affected by hyperbeam.com. I'd be happy to discuss the abuse you're experiencing, and what we can do to help.

We try our best to discourage hyperbeam.com as an ad-hoc proxy — the goal of the product is to provide hassle-free watch parties.

Edit: my email is [email protected]

It is not an ongoing issue; I do appreciate the offer of assistance. If we see attacks coming through hyperbeam again that we can't address through other means I'll reach out.

Sweet.

I'm sorry about this — it's difficult to strike a balance between preventing abuse and respecting user privacy. If anyone here is facing attacks, we're available to hop in a call any time.
