    I’m waiting for them to go after personal VPNs and Tor. I’m surprised they haven’t already.

      I use a business VPN which allows me to securely connect to my works network using only my work equipment. All legit.

      I host my own VPN at my home so I can connect into my network while out and about. All legit.

      I then do sometimes use a VPN for bypassing regional restrictions. This is the one I assume they would target but I don’t understand how.

      Surely they can only ban the use of it and not the technology. It would only add to a list of crimes to somebody the police has been targeting already. A bit like in my local area where the only people charged with illegally using an electric scooter are drug dealers.

        Oh it will be personal VPN companies they go after. They can’t do much about the technology. They will try to block Tor though at some point.
