Comment on Important News - Geoblocking of the UK

Well that’s a shit.

I am a UK user and a recent supporter. I don’t want to leave - this instance is busy enough to be useful, quiet enough to not be overbearing and also aligns well with my own values.

As a hypothetical, how would you handle (or not handle…) users that work around such restrictions?

The way the OSA is going, I can see VPN usage happening at a network level at home, rather than just when required.

I would have no way of knowing if you found a common and easy workaround… :)

Sales of VPNs etc will go through to roof as more sites start to block the UK.

  Brill.
  
  No hard feelings. I think it’s the best thing to do too.

I have an always on VPN on my mobile and planning to do the same for my PCs soon. Highly recommended :)

  Same - but it ties back to the home network where my self hosted stuff runs. Primarily for adblocking with the rest of the network accessible as a bonus.
  
  I guess now I’ll just have to rejig it up now so the home network exit point is the mullvad connection.
