I blocked the stuffing outta that. Students are occasionally smart and once it's on it would zip through the firewall - had to go manually remove it from the computers. Once off the FW blocked them from visiting the page to get it again.

It's a peer to peer VPN that pretty much lets people do anything that they want as if they are your IP, from what I can tell. Popular for getting around censorship, and to represent as if you are in another location. So popular for Europeans to get American television shows or Americans to get British ones, for example.

So It's basically TOR again.

Sometimes your responses just seem exceedingly simplistic.. It it not anything like TOR. Not any more than Pertino is like Hamachi.

TOR is obfuscation. This is simply a VPN with automated geolocation selection.

In what way is it like the parts of TOR that were important? By that logic, is TOR just a VPN? That's all this is.

In so much that you've obfuscated your IP to appear to be coming from another country to get around export controls.

It's not really obfuscated, though, only to the point of making geolocation fooled, not to protect your privacy. TOR was extremely different.

OK you're right! but the idea behind what I was getting it is also right, basic obfuscation and I'm sure that's what @thecreativeone91 probably meant by it too.

Yep, I'm sure it's some of the same people using it. I really never understood using these it's too risky. If you need a VPN get a virtual server you can use or something.

In this case, it's because you want to select the country out of a large list, some of which you cannot easily get a virtual server in. Normal people can't maintain a dozen virtual servers around the world and build their own VPNs just to watch television.
