US home broadband carpool season: paid 63 yuan, used for only 3 days, auto-renewed next time, no refunds.

There’s a lot involved in port brute-forcing.

But I didn’t share it with anyone; I used it myself the whole time.

This is a false premise

It cannot be proven or refuted

But the fact is your subscription has been abused, and all the other drivers are the victims

@neo I’m sure this refund isn’t coming back, but every sentence I’ve said above isn’t a single lie. After using it for 3 days, the subscription was directly deleted and there’s no way to appeal. I just hope the administrators will have a way to manage home broadband carpooling in the future. That’s it, I don’t need the refund anymore.

Whether it’s subjective or objective, your 63 yuan isn’t enough to even change your IP—home broadband IPs are expensive. :joy:

From the description, it seems the OP doesn’t really understand this area. First of all, generally home broadband abuse is not traffic abuse. There are two typical forms of abuse: one is regular long-term occupancy, consuming traffic, but home broadband abuse generally refers to using home broadband to perform certain abusive operations that cause the IP to be flagged as a high-risk IP. This operation doesn’t necessarily require a lot of traffic. The most typical abuses are ‘送中’ (song zhong) and using a keygen to register services.

A shutdown resulting from abuse (whether intentional or due to leakage) is generally not refundable by home broadband providers, because the losses caused are far greater than the amount paid for carpooling. The driver and other riders are innocent victims. Your number of connections basically indicates that abuse has indeed occurred, regardless of whether it was your own subjective intention, but the fact remains that damage was done. If the context proves it true, I side with the merchant.

What I actually want to know is where all those connections came from
How did you configure it to leak?
Proxy, I’m using it again. I’ve been using it for so long that it should be fairly secure, but I also haven’t set up home broadband on it.

Dude, can I ask you a question? What is OP?

Oh, okay, got it, thanks.

I don’t think R is at fault at all; this is a case of a personal mistake that led to abuse, whether intentional or not; as a user you have to take responsibility for it; there’s no need to appeal to the admins; it even feels like you’re playing the victim :melting_face:

I’m also curious about how it leaked; if I find out, I’ll be careful next time too, haha.

If his AI isn’t mistaken

First, when he configured the port-forwarding node, he didn’t set an account or password

Then the IP and port were exposed on the public Internet

Finally, someone scanned it (a public network scan) and it ended up in someone else’s proxy pool, like this: a few home broadband nodes captured

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with R. You should own up to your mistakes. Besides, the consequences you actually caused are more important than whether you told the truth, right?

Got it Thanks, boss.

First, the OP has been insisting that 【oneself】 did not misuse; I think that’s not the point, I can believe that【the OP himself】【subjectively】didn’t misuse, this doesn’t need to be argued.

The driver will never know whether you【subjectively】misused; the only thing that can be observed is how you use this protocol. In other words, the focus isn’t whether you【subjectively】misused, but whether【objectively】this misuse was caused by you.

So now if these conditions are met:

  1. Misuse is a false accusation; there is no【objectively】misuse
  2. Misuse exists, but the cause of the misuse is not【the OP himself】
  3. The terms before boarding did not mention anything about misuse; this is a later-imposed unfair term

Under these conditions, I think the OP has a point. However, from the current discussion in the thread, 1) the OP has already found that the objective misuse is due to his own AI misoperation; 2) the driving terms clearly state the relevant content.

I think there’s not much to argue about; I believe the OP did not misuse subjectively, but you should be responsible for this objective misuse.

The AI above has analyzed everything; it’s abnormal traffic outbound from the buyer.

I’m crying with worry.

I’m a total newbie and I don’t really get it, but I joined ride-sharing too. Is there a veteran who can share some tips? I’m worried about leaks as well. For now I’m just using v2rayN.
