gollark: I don't think most VPNs will let your stuff listen on external ports. Also, they won't assign you a fixed IP *either*.

gollark: Also <@361606054154469376>, you might have a dynamic IP (probably do if it's a home internet connection), so you'll either need dynamic DNS or will have to give people the new one a lot.

gollark: The worst people can do with your IP is get your approximate location. Which is somewhat bad, but I'm sure people can decide for themselves whether they care much.

gollark: I would understand it if it was for security, and they actually had you provide a password/key, but generally they just do it to be annoying and stop users exporting data.

gollark: Applications randomly encrypting their own databases is *annoying*.
