To clarify my intent. Whether anyone chooses to run this software or not is entirely at their own discretion and outside the scope of this post. I am not advocating for user adoption. My sole objective here is the aggregation of verified technical data to establish an empirical baseline, rather than relying on subjective conjecture, hearsay, or assumptions.
 
Lifetime Access but with Data Limit of x-TB?
It's like some prepaid that never expires but once all are consumed, bye bye.

NYM has a 2TB a month limit, I don't see that as the main issue. The main issue is renting your residential IP to people who are going to be doing hacking and fraud.

It doesn't take long for P2P Residential Proxy Network to get abused, first comes the malware then the fraud and last the intelligence agencies for operations.
 
Lifetime deals will almost always get revoked and transferred into smaller life cycles. Almost all VPN providers who offered lifetime are now gone or plans canceled.
Agree, I once bought a BulletVPN lifetime. The deal was good (nearly to good three year for a lifetime), so I did the old abandoned chart trick and they mailed me an even better deal. In three years they terminated operation, after two years the service became unstable (could be bypassed by switching servers), luckily I only paid for six months to get the "improved abandoned chart" life time deal :-)
 
They seem remarkably silent about how they are provisioning the "free" proxy.
URnetwork does not hide how its "free" proxy network is provisioned; it loudly broadcasts it as a primary feature. The network operates on a Web3 DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) model. The company, BringYour Inc., does not provision the exit nodes themselves, the users do. The network is populated by volunteers who explicitly opt-in to run open-source "Provider" binaries on their personal devices, home routers, or cloud servers. In exchange for providing this capacity, these volunteers are paid via a crypto-economic reward system funded by premium user subscriptions.
 
This forum suffers from a chronic issue, people skimming or misunderstanding posts, yet aggressively making baseless assumptions as if they are subject matter experts.

I don't think it's just hobbyists who misread the posts. Sometimes the experts also misread the contexts; people have limited attention spans and assume one thing when others are talking about something different.

You have to appreciate the profound irony here. I made a point about people misunderstanding posts, and you immediately misunderstood my post while trying to reply to it! 😀

We definitely agree that attention spans are the root of the problem here. To clarify my point, I didn't mean that actual experts misread things. I meant that people who misread things often confidently pretend to be experts.
 
For URNetwork, I think it's definitely better and more open than some of the proxy networks we see. As a hobbyist who tries to maintain some anonymity, I already use a VPN to mask my IP address from the end service and Tor for overall anonymity. The things I can't use those for are pretty much social networks/forums that often block VPN and Tor addresses. But why hide so much on social networks/forums unless I’m trying to piss somebody off or expressing a political opinion that I don’t want the government to easily trace back to my real identity? Tor has a longer history of being a safer haven anyway, even if it’s blocked sometimes.

I can see these networks being very useful to companies that want to hide their origins, though (like AI bots and companies that manipulate public opinions). The exploitative proxy networks are terrible, but this "legitimate" business still seems scary.

and even AI/LLM misread comments / questions, and say "sorry" when you point it to them (in my experience)
