Ask HN: Is it possible for a residential proxy provider to exist ethically?

By walrus01 0 views 0 comments

I'm leaning towards "no", because I've not seen a single bulk residential proxy provider that doesn't use some form of trickery to get people to agree to a TOS/AUP that bundles their proxy. Extremely few if any users install a residential proxy allowing unknown 3rd parties to run traffic through their house with full knowledge of what that really means, nor are they compensated for it.
