Most people have no sense of security. They say yes to strangers if asked to plug in a USB device on their laptop. When I said no in the train to someone asking to plug their device "for charging", I was definitely the bad guy.

Just find anything plausible, for backup storage, or say, to share family photos with grand parents but it does not work on my home wifi because my ISP is blocking ports, whatever.

Ah man, this must be rethorics and you wouldn't lie to a friend close enough to do such a favour, would you? WHo the h is after you guys anyway, to want such level of degraded-internet-speed?

And about 'Warp', is it or is it not a VPN after-all? They mentionned they aren't a VPN, but that they build on wireguard ??

I wouldn't lie even to strangers, and my point was solely about people having little to no sense of security.
So now the plan is to lie to people to get them to do something for you under false pretenses?
