It's gross, but of course we think many ISPs are abusive in similar ways? I haven't ever used a Starlink connection, I wonder if their latency a problem for VPNs or tunneling.
My home server back in New Zealand is behind CGNAT and I had issues with high birate (>25Mbps) HTTPS streaming over Tailscale. I suspect MTU size causing packet fragmentation combined with DERP relay fallback under CGNAT was the culprit, but that's outside my expertise to diagnose fully.
Reverse proxying to a VPS in Sydney with Pangolin achieved much better performance, almost 100Mbps over WebDAV. Somewhere inbetween I tried SMB over Cloudflare WARP (~70Mbps), but allowing Cloudflare to terminate TLS seemed incongruent with self-hosting everything else.
Indeed that is the case - all the other major consumer ISPs have ties with media companies and have much more incentive to collect and abuse user data than Starlink does.
It does seem good for many, just perhaps not all.
It’s crazy to me, frankly.
it works fine.
i have the exact same setup at home with cox cable, because they will data mine the shit out of your traffic (and they have your phone number and home address to link it to). most terrestrial residential isps do this shit. vpn everything.
