    So how would that work? You can not distinguish between commercial or private use, because the traffic is encrypted, you don’t know what is transmitted, that is the whole point.

      You can still see which vpn you are using, which is likely the rout they’d go. That and going after the private VPN providers.

          Enforcing that you need a business licence to buy a VPN is easy and requires very little. They suddenly can’t sell you a subscription if you can’t provide the business licence.

            Sure, but that only works if you’re purchasing a VPN that follows the same law. My VPN couldn’t give a fuck less about my country’s legislation
