[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 976471, member: 55987"] The problems 1) How safe is each node since they are with the users? The device itself must have some kind of protection against being hacked vs say hacking a VPN server. This is also one of the weakness of TOR since each TOR server is individually owned and run. 2) VPN servers are up ALL the time, except during maintenance/shut down or being hacked. If you happen to pass through one node and that user shuts off his PC/laptop then what? The node is running 24/7 or just a few hours of daily use by the user. How fast the system works will depend on how fast is the PC/laptop running that node something similar to TOR. 3) The nodes are being shared. I believe there's an element of cryptomining here, meaning your PC/laptop time will be shared by others and vice versa. Will it affect the speed performance of your PC/laptop? [/QUOTE]
