Blocking vpns is tricky in a western society because so many companies cannot function without them.
Comment on I highlighted the VPN part so that everyone knows to not use them

I fear that calling them out so obviously it will just push them to target vpns next.

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.

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.

I use TOR because over on Reddit I got unjustly permabanned. It works great! I rarely use reddit but there just happens to be one community that has some helpful information that I’ll likely need to follow for the next few months. So TOR has been great for that!

Reddit is bad
It had potential, but it has gone to waste.
