100% this. It’s a “company” that just needs to tick some boxes to look enough like a company to get a higher valuation. On top of the terrible name of TCP IP inc, VPNet is a name already worked to death. It’s like they purposefully don’t want anyone to hear about them outside of the industry and their own contacts.
Good for them I guess. But weird.
Edit: also, this looks like someone said “how do we make TOR commercially profitable?” And started the business from that. It is a clever way to approach the problem, and a protocol that might become a VPN standard in 5-10 years if legal challenges go on their favor, simply because it removes liability of the provider. But most western governments will immediately peg this as enabling csam and terrorism and money laundering. Unless the right buyer sticks it to the right truthy social media platforms and sanctifies it.
