How VPN works
@nixCraft I would have thought that was a proxy?
@pjakobs @nixCraft a VPN in the meaning of the VPN services offered currently just means passing your traffic through a proxy.
@Amikke @nixCraft ähm, no.At least not the Services I use.If my traffic is encapsulated such that a mitm between me and the VPN exit point cannot evesdrop on it and if *all* my traffic goes through it, I call it a VPN.
