VPNs are next on the chopping block.

Corporations and the government will still be allowed to use them, but they'll outlaw VPNs for average citizens.

    They will specifically outlaw privacy protecting VPN services. You will still be able to buy a commercial VPN service, handing over your ID to the VPN company, which will have to track everything its users do for compliance.
