Preventing this at the app store level is hard

Preventing this at the app store level is hard

I would say that allowing a cheaper version that includes the proxy could count as informed consent as long as the vendor was completely honest about what they were asking of customers running the proxy. But that still only counts the customer consent aspect; it doesn't deal with the pernicious uses of residential proxies. I still believe there are valid reasons for blocking any service, like these residential proxies, that causes massive damage to third parties who weren't give a say.
