With a lot of talk from governments around the world trying to either ban or restrict VPNs, I'm curious to know what are our options if they follow through? I know we can use the Tor network, but is there other options? I assume we could self-host our VPN since I don't think it would be affected by a possible ban. Is there a less tech-savvy option I'm not aware of? I'm just trying to understand all of my options just in case a ban does happen.

It's all talk. VPN is a critical business security feature. Corporate security would be at risk. Ignore this crap.

    Government security would be too. They would undoubtedly give themselves an exception, but it shows how little the people suggesting it understands how the modern world operates
