    Advertisers can’t figure out who you are and service providers don’t know if you are from where you say you are. This and age verification are about making money and commerce.

    can’t ban VPNs entirely, people will find a way to circomvent. and what people living in “geo-restricted” areas should even do?? yeah lets make it HARDER for them to access content legitimately surely they will stop piracy. if a service restricts content for me, I WILL pirate it.

      No, you cannot ban VPN tech. The cat’s out of the bag. You and I would still gain access. But an attempted ban could have quite the chilling effect on the average person, driving the tech underground and enabling bad actors.

        Banning VPNs means the spread out locations in my companies network don’t get to talk to one another. Plus I can run a tunnel through a ssh session and the only way they could tell it was a VPN would be by the amount of traffic. Its pointless and the only reason they keep trying is that the recording pukes don’t understand how anything works other than their narrow greed driven focus.

          Not just ssh… any traffic allowed can be used to encapsulate. Open up dns, use that. The only giveaway is the amount of traffic .

    If they succeed in banning vpn, then millions of people won’t be able to do their jobs. Because tons of companies use it.

      Some of us may lose their basic human rights but that‘s a sacrifice shareholders are willing to make.

    It is good for my awareness to read the news about my country from another country. Or read the local news of some event at the (some obscure) local website from another country, instead of a summarized and perhaps skewed global news article of that same country.
