  Then Brits can use TOR 😎

  If they block the publicly-accessible nodes too, they can use bridges.

    Hell yeah.

    It’s very hard to block TOR, because it’s an hydra. Block one method, multiple other methods take its place.

      Bonus prize if it makes sites accept Tor users as legitimate.

  Blocking vpns is tricky in a western society because so many companies cannot function without them.

    They wouldn’t block the protocol, just the most common commercial providers. That’s very easily doable.

  Many have tried that, IMO getting the word out about VPNs even to non-technical users is important because most people still don’t know what that is. If they ever try to ban VPNs, even non-technical people will know how to use them and how to avoid the bans.

  That’d quickly become a game of whac-a-mole.
