    Would it not be easy for them to block access to VPNs if they outlaw them?

    Not necessarily. It’s reasonably easy to keep long lists of known IP address ranges of known VPN providers and block access to these, but VPN traffic to a not well known IP address is generally impossible to distinguish from perfectly legal encrypted traffic such as a VPN connection to a corporate intranet. (There are also VPN protocols that are made deliberately hard to identify at all.)

    Commodore’s bankruptcy in 1994 was the end of the Amiga, which forced me to switch to something else.

    At the time, the choice of hardware I could afford and operating systems that didn’t suck was extremely limited, a PC with Linux was pretty much the only practical choice and I’ve stuck with that ever since.
