I heard about this thing called HoneyGain, which supposedly is a thing you can make money with passively. So, I looked into it, and basically what they're doing is allowing their clients to use your internet connection as a proxy...
Um yeah, that's throwing up a bunch of massive red flag to me 😬
@Zauberin yeah it sounds like Tor but worse based on your description
@Gulfie Yeah. Also reminds me of some old "work from home" scams, where you were getting paid to just mail stuff on behalf of other people, and this was really a thing crime orgs were doing to hide their tracks and create a scapegoat.
@Zauberin i wonder if it functions as a node for a tor network or something? sounds like a massive abuse
I can quite easily imagine HoneyGain clients using my connection to look up illegal stuff that would get me in trouble. Plus, I'm quite sure this kind of thing violates the TOS for most internet service providers and would get my service disconnected.
