VRChat Users that use the Spyware Gonso also known as "GonsoLiscenser"
-
I have had it up to fucking here with these slop creators treating people like shit. They farm your personal info because they feel entitled to it, taking your money, banning you, and revoking access without refund because "waaahhh you gave a fake discord! I need to go to the ER for a mental health crisis now!" And some even add you to a blacklist to spread to other creators so they can ALSO rob you of what you've bought just because you don't want to give your discord away to random mentally ill vrchat creators that downloaded 30-40 assets and slapped it together to resell for $50usd. Creators collecting your personal info is a safety risk in of itself.
But there's an even larger safety risk. I've been made aware of the spyware Gonso. It tracks your internet usage, takes note of your IP, Discord ID, VRChat username, and monitors your pc. They hide it into the unity packages so your Windows Defender (or whatever you use) can't flag it as malware or spyware, which it is. This is extremely illegal. If you have an avatar that has gonso in the unity package, delete it immediately. This is extremely unsafe and illegal behavior.
Fuck that avatar, fuck that creator. This is a huge, HUGE safety concern.
According to the Federal Trade Comission:

Just to show how extremely serious this is.


Whenever I see a creator that uses gonso, I will be listing them here. I don't want this to become a witch hunt, so only mention a creator with proof. I will be adding screenshots of the felon-- I mean, creator, in question, the avatar, and the screen that shows the gonso spyware in unity. Do not just say creator names. This is for safety reasons not for drama. I don't care if you think it protects creators from leaking, that is an unimportant issue here. You don't get to install spyware onto people's pcs. So if you come here trying to sympathize with these felons that do this, pre-emptively, just shut up. Whether you're for or against leaking, we should be united in this case against this. This is a larger, massive issue.
And to the creators who use spyware for fucking vrchat, a video game, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you. Your slop is not worth a huge safety risk. In the grand sceme of things, it doesn't matter if your little project got leaked BECAUSE you want to install spyware onto everyone's pcs cus your feewings are hurt. It's massively illegal.
Perhaps you want this list because you don't want to buy from creators that install spyware onto your pc. Definitely don't support them monetarily. Especially when their spyware makes it to where you can't edit the avatar in blender and it's locked to your pc cus it yoinked your IP to monitor you. No avatar is worth this much danger. I'm serious. No avatar, no matter how pretty or cool, is worth your safety.
Here is a testimony of someone talking about the Gonso spyware and creators abusing a "Universal Creator Blacklist." I recommend watching at 1.5 speed. In this video in the first few minutes, they are talking about how they were helping their friend upload an avatar because they had bought an avatar, and didn't know how to upload it, and because of the spyware, they were blacklisted from uploading any avatars they bought in the future and banned from purchasing avatars despite any wrongdoing. They bought the avatars legitimately and yet this creator used spyware to monitor their pc activity. That creator then had them banned from ANOTHER store, having what they bought and revoked. Then a third avatar creator had revoked access from their avatars, which cost them another $300 total loss. Video is 5 mins long at normal speed.

Ibdi
uses gonso spyware on their avatars. This one I had a harder time tracking down. ironic they use illegal spyware to "protect" their stupid looking versions of copyrighted disney characters, of police officers btw. The jokes write themselves.
link to their avatar for proof: link

"buh muh precus avatur"


Question, but is it possible to rip avatars to get around the spyware bs? I will update once I find out this question. I've seen other posts regarding this question as well, so I thought I'd put it out there.
I will be adding users and more evidence as I find it.
Stay safe out there.

PREACH IT, bro im sick of people defending gonso theres LITERALLY OTHER WAYS TO AVOID ASSET LEAKING theres no need to use gonso, its literally a waste of time and if anything people should be more afraid of it because ive heard way too many horror stories of creators going berserk and they'd have all ur info n shit if something went wrong
-
just to add the creator of gonso can see whatever you search/do outside of the unity project ik because thats part of why i was banned i only wanted to remove gonso so i could edit what i paid for not to post or leak
@Snowy19 This. People aren't as scared as they should be. This make me very afraid.
-
I'd also like to note, this information needs to be spread around like wildfire because people are buying these avatars and completely unknowing about what Gonso Licenser is. if you don't know it's just text that says "anti leak system" not "HEyy we're sneaking in a spyware software into your computer through a unity package and will get your ip, accounts and monitor your internet and pc usage"
This needs to be screamed everywhere so people know what they're getting into. That pisses me off the most.
-
i like strawbunnys work but no goddamn way im paying for their shit when its got spyware brooo. unoptimised as fuck too
-
@meowmei ;; i know theres ways to like.. get rid of the gonso which is straight up fucking pathetic we have to bypass it bruh. strawbunny allegedly lurks on here?? which is really fucking weird
-
@scenerae not surprised that she does. strawbunny if u r reading this, pls make opti versions of models and get rid of gonso
-
@meowmei ;; REAL. i kinda wanna start an anti gonso project where we degonso avatars icl. strawbunny if you see this fuck you!!
@scenerae i am still new to the whole scene so idk how to degonso avatars atm. i make alot of personal avis for me and like, two of my closest friends and i am so militant about optimising them. ive lost so much respect for creators when i see shit like 150 physbone transforms and 50+ materials. if ur gonna sell shit, atleast have the option for me to get an optimised version. im not going into a world with lots of people with something unoptimised

@meowmei im like thinking.. what if there was a discord server like. dedicated to this whole degonso project. (this is part idont fucking know of me repurposing my discord servers)
-
@scenerae i would join but probably wouldnt be able to help. i do enjoy frankensteining shit. i do generally find individual assets to slap on but sometimes creators have unique shit they dont post anywhere but some model that honestly kinda sucks
-
@meowmei ;; im making a huge archive of avatars i find on here and vrmodels to frakenstein stuff
-
@scenerae niceee, if u ever need help with actual bashing together of stuff, i might be able to help. i like to think im okay at blender and unity
-
@meowmei ;; i was also working on a server for like.. making avatars to give back to the ripperstore if thats also your thing! id love your help though genuinely
-
@scenerae yaya feel free to send me an invite via dm. ill hopefully have time between work and stuff
