Big Mama is made up of two parts: There’s the free VPN app, which is available on the Google Play store for Android devices and has been downloaded more than 1 million times. Then there’s the Big Mama Proxy Network, which allows people (among other options) to buy shared access to “real” 4G and home Wi-Fi IP addresses for as little as 40 cents for 24 hours.
I am surprised this is legal. I have zero knowledge of the nuances of law, but there is no situation where allowing a completely random 3rd party to use your IP/network on an on-demand basis is legitimate. This is not a “grey area” (in the real sense, not in the judicial sense).

I mean, this is kind of the entire concept of Tor.
But Tor is explicitly designed for this sort of thing and does not have a paid access system.
Nowhere on Big Mama VPN’s landing page does it say that by using their service you open your network to access by randoms.
may be a grey area technically or legally, but very sketchy as a user.
no thank you sir, I don’t like it.
