That's not how they'd implement it. They'd make it illegal to sell it advertise VPNs to the public. Then they'd impose fines on any American VPN companies that did it, and IP block and foreign VPN providers (their websites and apps) that didn't.

Corporate VPNs wouldn't be targeted. But you're probably not going to watch porn through your work's VPN right?

    Yeah, they could just block VPN connections to servers outside the US. OpenVPN's and WireGuard's handshakes are easily identifiable.

    Using obfuscation? Kinda sus that your connection with a single foreign server is transmitting gigabytes of traffic, but you do you.

    Russia already does this, agent Krasnov and his cronies are just following in their footsteps.
