Wow, it was more than I expected. I appreciate your dedication to Discourse and I see the value in your service. I intend to keep paying and providing feedback.
I’m not sure which jurisdiction your company is based in, but regarding the fact that, for example, cataloging VPN and proxy networks is a game of cat and mouse, I would be willing to share specific information about networks that have passed through your filters, so that I can help improve detection. Living in Brazil, I need to follow certain rules similar to GDPR, known as LGPD, so I think it would be best to first understand what data would be required and how it would be handled. That said, this is just a thought on how instances, whether running Discourse or Flarum, could contribute and how there could be a mutually beneficial arrangement for both sides.
