I am not ambitious enough unfortunately, and probably not smart enough either.
It's a game of leapfrog and it's at a little bit of a stalemate because people just pay $5/mo. for a VPN. It was a monetization race and that's were we landed. I'm sure copyright holders are not happy with that, but there's no incentive to develop or change anything because who doesn't have $5/mo?
A lot of VPNs nowadays don't even have port forwarding and such though, including Mullvad as of recently. Not to mention how many of them end up being compromised relatively easily.
