List of changes proposed in this PR:
I've moved to this personally with all logging disabled. It's only a feature on a paid plan.
It allows an automatic proxy of your ip address that's transparent to the website. eg. I route all of Reddit and imgur services through a redirect to canada. This means I do not get the UK based restriction (NSFW).
You might say well just use a VPN? I personally see this as 2 seperate systems.
The VPN is well covered so I won't discuss that. Where the controld system is different is that it can operate without a VPN. So you can apply it network wide without actually requiring a VPN on any device it silently intercepts and proxys your HTTP traffic through one of their servers in another country. So reddit sees it as oh somebody from Canada is connecting.
This may or may not have privacy benefits, however I see the benefit of not being pushed/coerced into needing to age verify and it works silently without accidentally turning it off, can easily apply to kids accounts, parents accounts, old peoples accounts at the network level.
If you are making changes that you have a conflict of interest with, you MUST
disclose this as well (this does not disqualify your PR by any means): NA apart from I use the service and find it a great benefit.
