Tomorrow passwords will be cracked in no time, because most algorithms are not quantum safe. Same with password length.
I never said it is not an attack vector. There are dozens if not hundreds. The question is about the probability, which is always a dimension if you manage risks. There is no need to list all theoretical possible attack vectors, if the probability of actually happening only affects 2 people on this planet.
Videos for educational purposes should not sensationalize unlikely attacks, as it only causes unnecessary fear. I’d rather have someone using torrent on VPN than not using anything at all because they are now afraid of the government.
Is this the only point, when it comes to security? In my experience, the ease of use is also a factor. Today, VPN clients are just one button and it runs. I2P is almost there, but requires you to setup some configs manually. So is it really worth to drive a tank to just go grocery shopping?
