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.

    Maybe it’s possible, but it’s a much bigger barrier to entry than it is currently, and it being illegal does have consequences when the cops search your devices.

    Plus e.g. the UK is planning to mandate preinstalled government spyware on phones and AFAIK China already implemented that years ago.
