Anyone who thinks a government can ban VPNs without destroying economy is deluded
Anyone who thinks government would never do something as utterly stupid as shooting itself repeatedly in the everything out of spite is deluded. Banning all form of encrypted traffic would be insane. Now tell me, how many insane things have we witnessed in the recent years from our collective governments?

What about China? There are VPN in China. They only try to block those that are used to act as if you are not from china.
Company VPN or university VPN are generally allowed.

Yeah so seen in the context of the OP it would be enough

True. That is probably what the UK will settle on too.

So you can still easily hide your location? If I live in Maine and my IP says California, that’s still the same country.
Companies and universities are controlled by China in China. There’s no opposition party that will win the next elections based on the bad economy.
Again, this thread is about the UK, which is WHY I’m speaking in terms of Western democracies.

Isn’t a democracy. We’re talking about the UK, remember?
