With a lot of talk from governments around the world trying to either ban or restrict VPNs, I’m curious to know what are our options if they follow through? I know we can use the Tor network, but is there other options? I assume we could self-host our VPN since I don’t think it would be affected by a possible ban. Is there a less tech-savvy option I’m not aware of? I’m just trying to understand all of my options just in case a ban does happen.
The effectively can’t ban VPNs and even if such an absolutely ludicrous law were to be passed, VPN traffic can still be hidden to appear as normal traffic. It’s all bullshit bluster from idiots who have no understanding of how technology works at all. VPNs are absolutely vital to the function of businesses and institutions, banning them would be an absolute disaster for everyone but criminals who make money from stealing data and maybe dictators (though they’d still be screwing themselves over in the long run).
