People who help you break rules will break other rules too. In other news, water is wet.
If you actually read the article, this is just a normal-ish (although peer-to-peer, which is interesting) free VPN, it isn't actually oriented towards cheating. The funniest part is that if the article is to be believed, the "cheating" consists of simply increasing your ping. Which... you don't really need a VPN for.
That reminds me. There was a story about a cheater who sold tools for disrupting multiplayer games and it was pretty popular.
Then he added a crypto miner in there which went undetected for a long time and then he ghost.
