Given that VPNs are also used as a secure gateway for remote employees to access resources on a corporate LAN, along with site-to-site bridging for entire remote offices…
Yeah, banning VPNs is a good way to kill a lot of extremely valuable IT infrastructure.
The article doesn’t specify, and corporate VPNs can be configured for either full tunnel or ‘only tunnel LAN’, depending on if they need external users subjected to the internal firewall.
And besides, distinguishing between corporate and internet proxy VPN would require effort from whoever ends up enforcing this. Neither law enforcement nor ISPs are going to do that, as it would reduce this new revenue stream of ‘fines for all anomalously constant TLS traffic.’
Of course, corporate VPNs can give internet access, but they most probably won’t have the setup that VPN service providers do to provide workarounds for localised censorship.
And I don’t think normal companies would be very interested in your privacy either. Probably even making sure to keep access logs to make sure their workers are not doing any non-work stuff using their internet connection.

Wasn’t it only talking about banning the VPN services that allow a proxy internet access?
Now are they banning the technology altogether?
If that’s the case, then what will they ban next? Fire?
