@arstechnica It seems that this attack isn't an issue for people working from home and using a corporate VPN, or using a VPN to pretend to be in another country to get access to media, because the attacker has to control DHCP on the home network, and if they can do that the user has worse problems than just with their VPN. It could make it unsafe to access sensitive work sites from a coffee shop if I understand correctly.
