NordVPN library and client code open-sourced

Sorry, my phrasing was wrong. The second part of my comment had nothing to do with the first link.

I am basing the second part on this research: https://www.docdroid.net/kOP3JAh/tesonet-web-of-lies-pdf

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but the relations of Tesonet, NordVPN and Oxylab is creepy at best.

People make the allegation that NordVPN is routing some of Oxylabs' traffic, because that's exactly what HolaVPN and Bright Data (previously known as "Luminati") does. (See https://archive.is/aJY0F ) And Luminati Networks sued Tesonet for patent infringement on this.

Just the corporate structure of Tensonet in itself should make people stay away from any of their VPN products.

There are no “relations” between these companies, they are literally one company operating under different names to be less visible.

Do they actually route traffics through nordvpn consumers, though? If you don't mind sharing.
