Sure, it will work fine for (many) corporate drones. Who gives a damn about corporate drones? "Company intranets" are only one of many uses for VPNs... and a boring one at that.

It’s what VPN’s are for. The purpose of a VPN is not to give you a false sense of security by routing traffic onto the public web through a 3rd party.

You're doubling down on your ignorance, arrogance, and lack of imagination.

The major non-corporate-drone use of VPNs is to confuse the site you're communicating with about where you are, not to conceal the content of the traffic.

There are many other uses, and more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

So basically to commit fraud when using streaming services. Can you think of a legitimate use case ?
