Pushing all your traffic through a third party cloud server causes a lot of problems. It costs that third party real money to run that server... What happens when they decide to shut if off because they no longer want to bear the costs? Your applications are a ticking timebomb... What about privacy? What if the operator of that server decides to fund it through selling your data? Sending your traffic through a third party server adds latency, sometimes a LOT of latency if that server is far away. This is very bad for certain latency sensitive things (gaming, calls etc). If you're dependent on a third party server then you're screwed if it goes down, even if your own connection is fine. Doing away with that and going back to peer to peer is MUCH better in most cases. |
