Aren't you making yourself vulnerable to unknowingly sending (potentially loads of) illicit traffic from your ip address into the world?

I'm not sure if I'd be up for that, to be honest...

it’s like someone saw Tor and said "but what if we removed all the safeguards?"

This is exactly that by thought was. This solves nothing what the traditional VPN or TOR is used for. It's like running an exit node from your hope IP address. You do not want to do that.

Like other products in this category, this is for private networks, internal to your company or self. I don't think it's an intended use case to connect to computers not in your control.

It's useful when you have computers that talk to each other over the internet, likely without public interfaces, and using protocols that may or may not be secure.

can't quite figure out exactly the ins and outs but it seems to masquerade as wireguard. which would make VPNs redundant as it would itself be a VPN.

this would mean, for instance, torrents that are wireguarded between peers by default. sure you will see tons of IPs connected via wireguard but who is going to bother intercepting them?
