People who want to use a VPN tunnel to access resources in a private network, but browse the rest of the internet freely without all the traffic being forced one way or the other.

Think of a pipe with a Y-junction in it.

    • It is inefficient in both tunnel and transport mode, sacrificing 20-30% of available bandwidth.
    • It is cryptographically expensive, making your clients work harder and costing the VPN provider more money to host nodes.
    • It is complex to setup and deploy.
    • Uses outdated crypto.
    • Operates in Userspace.
    • WireGuard is essentially better in every one of these regards.

    The curious thing is that from her perspective, she was only swimming straight the whole time, and only expending energy going straight. It was the 'gifted' energy of the tide that caused the oscillation (from our perspective).

    Just struck me as interesting to think that from her point of view she was swimming as straight and as efficiently as was possible.

    Yes G, the UK one, is generally regarded as the safest.

    This showcase also doesn't show that UK sockets have flaps come down on the interior of the socket, so unless the longer and shielded earth pin is pushed in first, the flaps exposing live and neutral won't raise.
