For example, some time ago there was the project Lusca, which implemented address spoofing (like TProxy) for BSD systems (among other features). The feature was highly demanded and Squid project also implemented it later for BSD systems.

You can always make a fork. Just got another indoor bike. Received another 2049-Linux distribution. I do not think that this is something to aspire to any open society. And the trend is obvious. Large Internet companies pay a lot of money for advertising, and they absolutely do not care about users and their traffic. Arises only one rhetorical question. Key developers think about the users or large companies with their income? Actually, it's completely pointless debate. Developer position for a long time, we all know. "You can modify the code and go to the devil." I do not see the point in any further discussion, Harry. Your position is quite clear. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJYC2EQAAoJENNXIZxhPexGg9YH+gNpJVa5cDTbw96qZXlbRCmq /Znw9tkSirx8ZKMeY/wHaKvlPxIXTO1f46180UqtNWf8VTBjXq0U1Y6C+uEg2yhj /RjT+pxjmaV0CystefIUmHeyvB+iKltmkPVLWCkD4jGCoBGljmGSdUTlfQtMu4lW eogyWZju/LDVNmJ516YreVX0TY47q4qz1zxh9yQ+dP7+6jKROqp/kLTPND8MXTbV RXyM+pLWbFC3uK1KnGhMLdaq+RK8FW3KKo0gWqQf6/iNRry1Oin8VauhpmejTmbz AeakNFFGbbQiYVuNNp1EadFRDE1O025BeQn72Un+SYADkZtDrAdSMsZ4VNFQzJM= =CyoF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
