In reply to a post by Baobeiforever:
I need to route my traffic through a US residential IP rather than a standard data center VPS.

That's where I became suspicious.

I watched a video on Youtube (the Infographics channel I think) on how Chinese corporate spies get "working from home" vacancies and then use people who live in the US to route their internet traffic from an US residential IP address. One woman mentioned in the video was paid/duped into running 9 lap tops on her home network.

Got a visit from some CIA/FBI door kickers and is looking at some serious time in a Federal prison.

Nothing suspicious or risky here smile

Does OP know TBB is a UK orientated website ? Don't think many from the US visit.
