To your ISP, you aren't visiting Netflix. You are just sending gibberish to another Utopia user in Iceland. To Netflix, the request appears to come from that Icelandic user. The Dark Side of the Utopia Before you uninstall your traditional VPN, you need to understand the fine print. A "free unblocker" in a decentralized utopia comes with specific trade-offs.

Because your traffic is bouncing through volunteer nodes (not optimized data centers), latency is high. "Free" often means "slow." Streaming 4K video? Likely impossible. Downloading a large file? Bring a book. Utopia is built for anonymity and text communication first; media streaming is a distant third.

Decentralized, unblockable, anonymous networks attract more than just privacy activists. Because Utopia cannot be censored, it also cannot be policed. A significant portion of the traffic on these unblockers is spam, crypto mining, or worse. You are, in effect, making your IP address a neighbor to darknet markets.
