Well we just fire you, and the one you’re still using then must be your personal one!

Best of luck with that, idiots. How are you planning to tell the difference between my personal VPN and my work VPN?

He means, how is the government supposed to tell the difference between personal and work vpns.

Either just banning remote work or more realistically you’ll need a permit for running a vpn server. Permit pricing starting at 100k a year

How many small businesses can afford such permit? Hell, I’d argue that even bigger companies will have a problem paying for that.
Also, what if I just connect to a vps overseas and set my exit point there? Will they ban vps too? This is gonna be so much fun to see from the outside

Feature, not a bug.
They want people back in offices to help landlords and property prices. This way they can say that remote work is not banned and it’s just companies choosing not to buy a permit and offer it.

I work from office and i regularly use a vpn at work to connect remotely to devices that are not physically with me. Not to talk about companies that provide remote assistance and use them to connect to their customers devices.
Remote work is just a byproduct of vpns, but not the real reason why you use them at work.

What about the VPN I have to my home?

Next step: ban on remote work.

It’s not just remote work. All our manufacturing sites use to VPN connections data centres. It would cripple manufacturing on an epic scale if they were instabanned.
