The raspi still needs to be out of the country for it to work how you want it to. They may block vpn providers, but they just can’t block wireshark connecting to a off shore server because they would shutdown alot of methods, buissnesses use to transfer data. Well they could but it be some next level stupid.

melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months agoI’m not au fait with this but can you use a raspberry pi for a makeshift vpn or something?
Seems like a thing the tech savvy people do

Ah that’s a shame. I guess it could still be used as an adblocker. Time to go research VPNs

The problem is everyone you chat with would also have to do this… unless you’re talking with people outside of Australia or can convince everyone else to also get a VPN.

I’ve just seen a comment about the UK floating vpn bans and am considering the possibility in Australia so I’m probably commenting in the wrong thread.

You can but it’s unnecessary. For most people just configuring each device to use a vpn is the path of least resistance.

The UK needs to ban VPNs. To, uh, protect the children.
