      Can confirm, used DNS proxying to bypass cruise ship WiFi paywall once. It worked, but god damn did it send me into dialup flashback lmao

        I’d like to hear more about how that works…

      It really isn’t that slow, last time I tried to homebrew a working DNS tunnel it maxed my 100mbps card. I never needed the extra speed so I didn’t try to see how fast it could be on a 1gbps card

    Wait, this can’t just be another useless DNS blocking, or is it?

      It’s not. I use next and it’s blocked.

      I was making a joke about running wireguard over UDP/53

  The VPNs will be harder to ban. Not just from a technical standpoint, but politically as well. Big businesses will be absolutely opposed to VPN bans.

    There will be a lot of businesses who feel the (justified) need to hide the entrypoint to their infrastructure behind a VPN.

    I feel they could easily ban VPN companies (maybe?), which is what 99.9% of people that want to browse from a different location use.

    This won’t affect companies at all as they would be using their own VPN.

      VPN becomes VPS and life goes on.

      The only way the sovereign nation of France can ban VPN companies not based in France is to block the IP address of every single entry point of every single VPN company and keep doing so as they add new entry points (I bet the response on the VPN company side would be to start having some kind of dynamic VPN server thing).

      And then, as somebody else already pointed out, any technically inclined person can just rent a VPS anywhere in the World and fire up their own VPN server on it.

  if the VPN ban doesn’t work then the only reasonable course of action would be to ban the internet entirely. it’s the only way the children can be truly safe.

  Fun fact: they already tried. In the same law where they tried to ban E2EE a few months ago. It went about as well as you’d expect.

  Don’t give them ideas. If they block no-log VPNs I’m going to become a real threat 👀

  Does the rule in question even apply to end users? All I had heard of it was that it put some kind of requirement on the website itself to identify people, which a person seeking out a noncompliant or foreign website presumably wouldn’t be the one violating?
