Greg, couldn’t these also be used for nefarious purposes since they hide where the user is from? Also, would existing systems such as cloudflare block them?

No. We control all operations. Guarantee bad guys won’t want anything to do with these devices.
"bad guys" or criminals are typically the first ones to adopt effective / superior technology.
Heck I started using Bitcoin over 10 years ago to buy drugs off the dark web.
There are already criminals on the internet. Many of them are corporations that are providing your services. Having this technology at home is similar to you having a gun at home to protect yourself from people that already have guns.
All this is a hardware version software already set up and configured of something that someone with sufficient IT knowledge could set up at home.
This is potentially good for non-tech people and boomers.
Keep in mind some people don't know how to pump gas or change the air filter in their home. And they don't want to know either. They just want to pay someone else.
"Guarantee bad guys won’t want anything to do with these devices."
Is a red flag for me unless he can explain why. What feature does it offer that would deter black hats? To me that sounds like tracking of some forms. If it was truly anonymous theoretically black hats would love this.

Weirdly enough...

Huge red flag. Also, fairly antithetical to the declared utility of the product.
Phillips says some weird, LARPy stuff sometimes.
Anything that effectively hides your identity or location is most certainly something a black hat would want.
The only way they wouldn't want it is if there is a Fed backdoor.
His comment makes zero sense.
