Almost certain. NordVPN owns Oxylabs if I'm not mistaken

Seems like it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29285988

How does that "seem like it"? I don't see anything there that is proof of anything...

In an interview with TechRadar Pro, Tom Okman, the co-founder of both Tesonet and Nord Security, answered some questions regarding the relationship between Tesonet, NordVPN, and the plethora of associated online services the companies offer.

The founder of the guilty party is also the founder of the company behind NordVPN. From the article it also seems like the operational practices are similar. Additionally, it is stated by the CEO of the guilty party that operational activities will resume as normal since the suit is only for damages. Assuming that NordVPN operates in a similar way, then a residential proxy service is still on the menu.

I've never noticed unusual traffic from my machine using Nord, nor have I ever heard of that being the case. This is something trivially noticeable and measurable. Two companies having the same founder =/= the two companies operate remotely alike.

if you wait to fight a fire until you're breathing smoke, it'll be too late
