    And what about all the companies that use VPNs? Do they just shut down because the government made them illegal?

    Just literally told you how. One line. Easy. Just declare VPN usage illegal for the common plebeian or when not credentialed with a company that is reporting to the government. Ez pz.

        The purpose of a ban is not necessarily to 100% remove use. A law can not, by definition, make something happen or not happen (think eg.: speed cap in traffic law). It does give the lawhandler permission to remove your rights if you are “found” to be infringing.

          Indeed and many countries have tried from China, Iran, UAE, to Russia and North Korea. Yet none of them have succeeded and as shit as my government is I can’t see them wasting time and energy going this route when it has never worked.

          As I said previously even if you could block the VPN ports and stuff it’s a trivial task to obfuscate your VPN traffic as regular HTTPs traffic.
