I know it isn’t specific to just Linux but I use Linux anyway so my question is,
Is there a way you could use a VPN without them knowing that? Or if they outlaw them is it really just game over?
If they made VPNs illegal I suppose stuff like TOR would follow except TOR is partly funded by the US state department and the US is one of my countries closest allies (one of the five eyes). So surely they wouldn’t shut down something the US funds directly… Would they?
I’ve read very very little about Gemini and other protocols like Gopher, would this be the way forward if they do this? And is that even remotely close to the security and potential anonymity you would receive from a VPN?
I’d assume they’d give companies an exemption if they made private VPN use illegal. Doesn’t China do something similar to this?
I think the Chinese VPN ban is a bit exaggerated
To be fair, it’s Mullvad that simply rocks.
They don’t really ban them, but there is deep packet inspection where they may throttle the connection or in my experience, cut it off after a period of time. Sometimes they block them during national occasions. I could probably try something better than OpenVPN. I only use it for personal use anyway and I am a foreigner, so they really wouldn’t care (if anything, it’s kind of expected waiguoren behaviour). If you are roaming on a foreign sim card and using mobile data, there is no censorship from my experience. Just needed the VPN for wifi
