This would make it much less private than most VPNs. For most corporate use that's no loss. Though I imagine a big draw to a company whose name starts with 'Private' is the protection of ones address.

It's quite dangerous because most people will think it's like any other VPN with regard to making an effort to keep your IP address/location private. Cloudflare also don't prominently communicate the difference (not many are going to read that blog post).
Perhaps there should be a different phrase, like "virtual tunnel".
