More like a corrupt traffic cop. There are reasons you might want this kind of functionality, which is why it exists. Normally you can trust the cop (DHCP server) but in this case the cop has decided to send everyone from all streets down to the docks.

These types of attacks would likely be implemented via DHCP spoofing / poisoning, unless you’re on a malicious network

I’d think the place most people use VPN is public wifi, unless they are utilizing workplace VPN.
