The vote question would be better suited for the admin team and not mods, as we are just over this community.

Too many people being nasty in this thread, so we’ve removed the negative comments for rule 3.

I’m guessing some people don’t know (or forgot) that site-to-site and remote access VPN’s are a thing, and was the initial purpose of VPN’s. Masking or hiding your location became a benefit after the fact, and todays more common client VPN is technically a remote access VPN with a new purpose.

Remote access VPN’s are a very common attack vector for companies, look up companies compromised with Fortinet gear and its typically through the firewalls VPN.

In fact, a primary purpose of a VPN, spoofing your IP/geolocation, pretending you are someone you aren’t… is pretty much antithetical to a highly controlled system of users with varying levels of access to specific, private areas of that system.

Most modern remote access VPN’s do exactly that, so it is not antithetical at all and is how most client VPN’s keep you from accessing other users data. I would encourage you to read up on WireGuard and the like, they are fun to learn about and awesome tools when configured properly.

Also, we removed the above comment because the last sentence was fairly rude and violates rule 3 @sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Well it unfolded into what I described, so we removed the comments.

…we removed both parties comments because you both were going

you: no your a troll

them: no your a troll

you: no your a troll

them: no your a troll

Not because we took sides.

Calling eachother trolls is not being excellent to eachother (rule 3), if you want to talk about disagreements do it like adults.

Wish I could award this comment

“Funny Fridays”, I think a good amount of tech people would hate that though lol.

Wow, it’s actually a thing

Just for the humor, I’m going to let this one slide on rule 2 and 5.

Acronyms are typically uppercase, so TOR makes sense, even if they (Tor) don’t format it that way.

Either way is fine though, what a strange thing to correct someone on tbh.

Not going to argue with you about it here

This has all been ridiculous.

Have a good one.
