it's exactly the same as a tor exit node, a proxy for you to understand. Everything they do will be reflected in your IP. Can you have problems? Yes. You must assess the risk / gains.
Mysterium VPN is exactly the same as a traditional VPN but your node would be the equivalent of a VPN Server from a company such as NordVPN etc.
A good deal for the creators since they have the infrastructure set up at the expense of the users and they get rid of any legal problem at the same time that they earn money with the fees.
YES. Any more of a liability compared to something like ExpressVPN or any other popular centralized vpn? Given the nature of both i feel like it would be more prevalent with dVPNs but really don’t know
Most nodes on Mysterium are from the US and people tend to go with the familiar. If an IP works, they'll use it over and over again.
When I had a subscription to PrivateVPN, they had 3 IPs that allowed access to the American library of Netflix. By the end of it was just 1 IP and it was barely working half the time.
I think Mysterium should work better on promoting and marketing their service. They have hunders of residential IPs that can unblock Netflix, Prime, Hulu...
They're just not seizing the opportunity.
That’s why still ExpressVPN or ProtonVPN offer a better solution because even though there is a central authority they have advanced technology to offer you a quality service (You have to trust that they have a no log policy though)
