I'd love to see them try and realize why that is such an incredibly bad idea.
what will they care? they’re capitalists. they purchase the forces and they don’t understand the tech and we’re all too distracted, poor, tired, and one check away from death anyway.
Every company and its mother uses a vpn for a variety of work related stuff. And I'm not talking about remote working, but secure connections, remote assistance, communications between different work sites... Banning vpns as a whole is so stupid that I'd love to see them try and crash the economy.
you fail to recognize that the process will involve simply kissing the boots and approved vpns will be fine. (backdoors included)
