You also have tons who got banned for it, too.

Here is the specific part of Blizz's tos that directly refers to tunneling:

http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/company...ermsofuse.html

2.8 host, provide or develop matchmaking services for any Game or the Service, or intercept, emulate or redirect the communication protocols used by Blizzard in any way, for any purpose, including without limitation unauthorized play over the internet, network play, or as part of content aggregation networks;
2.9 facilitate, create or maintain any unauthorized connection to any Game or the Service, including without limitation (a) any connection to any unauthorized server that emulates, or attempts to emulate, the Service or any Game; and (b) any connection using programs or tools not expressly approved by Blizzard; or
2.10 disrupt or assist in the disruption of (i) any computer used to support the Service or any Game environment (each a "Server"); or (ii) any other player's Game experience.

Regardless, this thread is not about VPNs, it's about parsers. The point is that these two things are completely different. We should not just assume parsers won't get you into trouble just because SE states VPNs won't.
