I have been using it for more than a week and now am worried about the consequences that I am not sure are true or not!

I am worried that by allowing random users to surf using my network to prevent surveillance, someone will use my address to do malicious things, and I will get into legal consequences. Also, what if many services blacklist my IP address so eventually I get a lot of restrictions in my browing experience.

Furthermore, will this extension increase my fingerprint?

Are these thoughts valid, or am I just overthinking? If anyone knows, please comment.

You cannot get into legal trouble for snowflake afaik. Its only a bridge, not an exit node. This means that websites the other person visits will see the exit nodes public ip, not yours.

Running a vpn for snowflake will only slow down the other persons connection without giving you much better security.

If it helps I've been running snowflake on my main browser for about a year now with no issues (not saying this is definitive proof for anything though.)

Can the ISP see the websites the other person is visiting?
