Patrick032986 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 This might be a odd question. But, is it illegal to sell hosting packages like an example VPN's aka Virtual Private Networks on second life? If, so how come I don't see very many of that stuff on second life?

Vpn is near obsolete. Vin (virtual invisible network) is more fashionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm attempting to change that as well (how the web is hosted if you didn't get what i said.) One deprecated protocol after another so it seems.

bigmoe Whitfield Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 There is not point in attempting to sell something most people will never use or have any use for. a vpn is really only useful to get around a goverment block or torrenting. really not other reason to use it or have it. in this day and age, "hiding" is not really hiding. this is not the 90's.

Jenni Darkwatch Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Why would it be illegal? As soon as you do you end up on the NSA's terrorist list though, regardless of what you use it for. Same with TOR and other privacy networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because to put it bluntly, nobody needs to come here to buy such services. I already have a browser, that's far more suitable to use in order to browse the web page of a hosting provider. Why would I log in to SL then TP around in order to browse a virtual shop of boxes containing absolutely nothing but a notecard on how to buy and connect to a VPN service? Sell via media on a prim to view a web page? Back to my first sentence. I have a web browser already, outside of SL that does that just fine.

Securing an open Wifi access point connection Connecting to a corporate or home network Geoblocking circumvention None of these are getting around a government block or hiding.

It's relatively trivial to get around government blocks (unless you're talking getting OUT of government networks). But, e.g., getting around Chinas "Great Firewall" is trivial. Same with Iran. Though I wouldn't use a VPN for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Romano Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 ? I was responding to the claim that a VPN was only for getting around a government or torrent block and that they had no other use. That assertion is incorrect. I agree, there are other ways to circumvent blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
