What are the options if my country makes VPN's illegal? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I know it isn't specific to just Linux but I use Linux anyway so my question is,

Is there a way you could use a VPN without them knowing that? Or if they outlaw them is it really just game over?

If they made VPNs illegal I suppose stuff like TOR would follow except TOR is partly funded by the US state department and the US is one of my countries closest allies (one of the five eyes). So surely they wouldn't shut down something the US funds directly... Would they?

I've read very very little about Gemini and other protocols like Gopher, would this be the way forward if they do this? And is that even remotely close to the security and potential anonymity you would receive from a VPN?

You could buy a webserver outside the country and set up your own VPN software or something. I think there are forms that look like https.

You should probably try to tell at least one person a week to never vote for those people again and try to resist your oppressive state in every way you can without getting yourself in trouble or hurt.

Also try to do anything you can that they don't want. If the powerful people in your country want something, try to oppose them. Don't let them just shit on you and get away with it.
