Yes but isn't it suspicious that all your traffic goes to the friend's house and not to Facebook and Reddit? If you claim it is not a VPN does it mean your friend is providing illegal unlicensed hosting? That's even worse.

> does it mean your friend is providing illegal unlicensed hosting

Since when do you have to pull permits to put a server on the web?

Split tunnel is a thing, and in that instance the platform required to comply (like a porn site) doesn’t have any way to see all your traffic to determine if it’s a VPN/proxy connection or not.

"Suspicious" is not illegal, and neither is hosting.

Why would that be suspicious?
