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.

I have not heard about Socks5. I'll look into it. Thank you!

    They are handy - you can also establish one over an SSH connection using ssh -D if I recall correctly, which can be super useful in combination with a dynamic dns service and a bastion host/jump server.
