      Blocking vpns is tricky in a western society because so many companies cannot function without them.

        They wouldn’t block the protocol, just the most common commercial providers. That’s very easily doable.

      Then Brits can use TOR 😎

      If they block the publicly-accessible nodes too, they can use bridges.

          I use TOR because over on Reddit I got unjustly permabanned. It works great! I rarely use reddit but there just happens to be one community that has some helpful information that I’ll likely need to follow for the next few months. So TOR has been great for that!

              Reddit has done things in it’s lifespan, and is dying of financeer-cancer, like about half egregors and autonomous zones that come and go. The smaller ones usually die of generational trauma.

              It all goes to compost and echos though, not all to the void.

      Many have tried that, IMO getting the word out about VPNs even to non-technical users is important because most people still don’t know what that is. If they ever try to ban VPNs, even non-technical people will know how to use them and how to avoid the bans.
