i think users in a vpn dont expect other users traffic being redirected over their systems, even if its just to enable access to some streaming services... or are residential proxies systems in residential ranges that are used as proxies, but actually part of nord vpn infra, rather than its users?? (sorry i dont wanna read all the code, and am a bit confused)

It's the latter case; Nord used a third-party residential proxy service that they sent traffic through, but there's no serious evidence that they used their own users as proxy nodes or endpoints.
