It wasn't originally their product. It came with the Sun Microsystems acquisition. Sun themselves acquired Virtualbox close to selling to Oracle. Sun never monetized their products well, hence their demise.
There was a Show HN project last year that did something similar. I'd be keen to try that out before this one. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the link.
Elsewhere in the world, Truvada might cost $40. In Australia, Truvada costs $8 for a 30 day supply[1].
AUD 6.60 in Australia is the cost for those eligible for the concession PBS rate (those that are on welfare, pension etc.). It's AUD 41.30 for everyone else.

When they started building the current Mac Pro in the USA, they couldn't find the correct screws for a particular component. When they eventually found a supplier who could deliver something that was close to spec, the owner of the factory hand-delivered it to them over 22 trips in his Lexus:
From what I can see, it's only for setting up a VPN provider, nothing else like Tor etc. (that may attract unwanted attention). It supports IKEv2 which isn't blocked by a lot of firewalls and supports far more VPS providers than Streisand.
