Well this is fun. So tell us then did Honeygain get created so nordvpn could use their IPs for streaming and also sell to competitors as lexistream? Tell us about the lexistream creation if you are in fact an ex employee.

Also would love to hear your take on shortcuts taken by honeygain to acquire IPs as I’ve heard about botnet usage.

OxyLabs has asked their employees to as quickly as possible remove evidence of honeygain + oxylabs from their linkedin profiles.Luckily I have screenshots of most of them and there is clear evidence left behind. Come on oxylabs. Respond to this instead of trying to hide the truth.

You operate a botnet + P2P Reverse Proxy platform called Honeygain and you're trying to infiltrate VPN companies by selling services to them as a company name that you don't publicly disclose as being related to OxyLabs/NordVPN!

Not all VPN companies are fishy. Some legitimate VPN companies do exist in the industry. That said, this specific scenario is especially concerning because of the blatant proof. If you look closely every single employee moved from OxyLabs to HoneyGain and they did not even put any effort to conceal it because they took the exact same position at HoneyGain.

Rather than pedalling my own opinion though, I would really like to know your opinion and the opinion of other readers on YCombinator. This is a strictly OPINION based article where I am simply laying out facts that are publicly available online.

It's interesting how the term "publicly available information" does not always work in the favour of data scraping entities.

Conclusion : I would like to hear what others have to say however my opinion is that this evidence shows a direct relationship between OxyLabs and Honeygain and it is very likely that OxyLabs is the owner of HoneyGain behind the scenes.
