good they all should do that. that should solve all the problems they have with VPNs, since tor allows any tcp connection, right?
Tor is relatively slow and bridges are regularly blocked. It's a high-effort, low-bandwith option, so most people still prefer more traditional VPNs.
Tor is fast enough for text-media communications. The innovations of mass internet video have spoiled us.
