VPN is basically just a encrypted channel between 2 systems, while one of them forward traffic to the internet and unless they block/filter every encrypted connection, there is no way to block it at mass…
That’s what I’m worried about….billionaires will convince governments (who haven’t banned them yet) a “think of the children act” which will ban VPNs

It can’t be impossible because certain countries have been trying. Hasn’t China already been fining people for using VPNs?

Well, at some point people will remember that it’s possible to share things via USB stick or a drive.

Man, those were the times… Lending hard drives to friends, burning CDs… Sharing lists of who has what…

Way too many businesses rely on VPNs to ban them.

Oh you sweet child. They only need to ban them for citizens, not for business / shareholders.

We’ll how does China and Russia and other authoritarian shitholes that have banned them operate?

I don’t know about China, but Russia has not banned VPNs. They banned specific VPN services. I’m guessing it’s similar in China. And there are plenty of grey and black market VPN services for people in those countries to use. And they use them.
