I'm more concerned with a more "traditional" setup - say a festival providing WiFi to many people through limited upstream. Used to be, you could provide a caching proxy locally.

With the war on mitm, it's really hard to set up something that scales traffic in this way - even if the actual data requested by clients could readily scale.

I know it's a trade-off between security and features - but it still makes me sad.
