Preventing this at the app store level is hard

Preventing this at the app store level is hard

The "I should be able to run whatever code I want on my device" people are wrong. It's the same old saw about your right to swing your fist ending at my nose. Your right to run what you want on your device ends when it starts causing damage to other people's devices. If you want to run a proxy on your device, you are responsible for making sure it isn't DDOSing someone's web site. If you aren't willing or able to take that responsibility, don't run a proxy.

Note: you can avoid this step in the future by logging into your LWN account.
