Ther's a big difference between VPNs and consent.
VPNs are really private - information about VPNs instances (IP address of
entry points,
protocol, flavour, ...) aren't public and aren't available to unknown users.
Consent users information is public : Claudio Telmon email address is public
and known by
everybody.
I can't follow you on this. A telnet port is public, yet you must be welcome in
order to use the service.The same for ftp, where you access the service, but
the owner decides what to share with everybody (public ftp) and what to keep
just for some buddies (authenticated). It has always been like this, Internet
has been about sharing, but just what the owner wants to share. I choose this
two very old services because they are part of the Internet since the
beginning. This long before the Internet being about freedom, which is an issue
that came up much later.
