    if you want to go to that route get ready to buy a shitload of chinese equipment because those are the only ones capable enough to block at least some of the modern VPNs, and it’s not even that effective. in my experience the only real way to ban VPNs is to kill almost all outbound traffic.

    ban porn, VPN sales goes up. ban VPNs, starlink sales goes up. ban starlink, then what?

      At the end of the day there’s no way to differentiate VPN traffic against HTTPS traffic, so the only way you could stop VPNs is to either shut down all external traffic between your country and the rest of the world or ban all encryption across wires, and either of those options are suicide on about 200 different levels simultaneously.
