So your suggestion is to convince a friend to let me tunnel all my Internet traffic through their connection, with no concern of uptime?
I mean yeah, I guess that works, but is unreliable, and in some cases unobtainable.
Seems like a paid service would be easier for quite a few folks.

Yeah. If they want to lick boot that bad, I may as well be talking to my fridge.
