Thanks for these clarifications, @risingstargame !
The particularity with VPNs is that they have become indispensable in today's Internet browsing for all citizens - I'd add: much better if they are self-hosted VPNs.
Not using a VPN is the exact equivalent as walking in the street with a placard telling to everyone (to all web actors) our physical address, our exact first names and family names, and our life tastes and preferences (because sooo many things are searchable thanks to an IP address). Or the same as living in today's China, where citizens receive a fine on their "smart"phone a couple of minutes after having put their garbage bin 2 or 3 meters away from where it should have been located.
Of course, I know that Rising Star will not use our IP's with malevolent intentions. I just would like to avoid the general perception of VPNs - as any other privacy preserving tools (where VPNs are far from being the best ones) - becoming one of "a technique essentially used by scammers and multiaccounters" 🙃.
Totally agree that VPNs are a good thing but we need people to at least run a few missions a day without a VPN otherwise the game would die very quickly if we allowed players to connect with VPNs and never disclose their actual IP address.
Ok! Compliance is legit when it's for the greater good of Rising Star 🙃.
Jux, 3 short questions:
Have you had any news from Grand Space Adventure? He used to connect to Discord once a week, for the "Radio Evolve" broadcast, but I haven't seen any life sign from him since... the second phase of the war in Ukraine has been triggered. And as he lives in Poland, we could think that both events are related 😟...;
Under which modalities could we launch an NFT collab with you around the "Light Up" song you've released some years ago?;
May I send you on Telegram my new IP address? I've changed recently my ISP, and it ended up in preventing me from performing RS missions 👮.
Thanks in advance for your availability, Jux!
