I am paying for it out of pocket. Its free for you to use, but not for me to host it :)

Good luck with your future mim data sniffing or selective takeovers, I guess? Not sure what the business model would be, unless you’re planning on injecting ads, which would be funny.

The question is, how is it sustainable? Nobody likes being rug pulled. Why not charge money for it?

I'd rather pay a few dollars for a service that will be around 5 years from now, than pay nothing and have to deal with churn.

Why does everything have to be a business model?

Unless the author is insanely rich, they probably don't want to spend increasingly large amounts on hosting unless they have a way to make money back (even if it's just to break even).

I can't promise anything this is a pet project. I might turn it into an open source project, and I might also provide some kind of service for a few bucks if it gets traction.

I am not rich and I don't need to be to keep this service up and running at least for the near future.

To keep this up and running for 2-3 years, you probably do need to be rich, or to find a way to monetize.

It's possible when it gets to be a drain, even charging pennies for the service could drive off the bad actors making it unsustainable though.

For the foreseeable future and unless there is massive abuse, which I am trying to contain, it will remain free.
