There’s a “hub” mode where your endpoint inside the network grants access to the whole network like a standard VPN server.

Can just say: nope. No difference for me.

A VPN is only as much of a security improvement as the service behind it. If it gets installed in a shady way, how much trust can you put into the service?

Not that unusual depending on the software. A lot of them honour the TTL literally.

One enterprise software I know that does it is VMware vcenter. I’m sure there’s plenty of consumer software that retries excessively.

Fuck cars refers to what they caused with car centric infrastructure. The lobbying that reduced that “fantasy” of public transport to rubble. It’s advocating for people centric cities.

At least check what is about before getting offended.
