“copyright industry continues efforts to remove locks from homes so they can come in and inspect your media for piracy any time they want”
If they succeed in banning vpn, then millions of people won’t be able to do their jobs. Because tons of companies use it.
They’ll carve out a business exception. Only licensed users will be allowed to use VPNs. Everyone else is a second class citizen.
Which won’t be broadly enforceable, but it’ll fuck with people enough.
All you have to do is configure the gateway and client to use port 443.
Some of us may lose their basic human rights but that‘s a sacrifice shareholders are willing to make.
Well my company officially stop using vpn as of yesterday due to this bullshit. So guess Allstate sees this happening.
Suing AI companies for the biggest heist in history: 🥱
Ban basic human rights for profit: 🤑
IP has more rights than humans
Guns have more rights than women
Embryos have more rights than living human beings.
can’t ban VPNs entirely, people will find a way to circomvent. and what people living in “geo-restricted” areas should even do?? yeah lets make it HARDER for them to access content legitimately surely they will stop piracy. if a service restricts content for me, I WILL pirate it.
No, you cannot ban VPN tech. The cat’s out of the bag. You and I would still gain access. But an attempted ban could have quite the chilling effect on the average person, driving the tech underground and enabling bad actors.
Banning VPNs means the spread out locations in my companies network don’t get to talk to one another. Plus I can run a tunnel through a ssh session and the only way they could tell it was a VPN would be by the amount of traffic. Its pointless and the only reason they keep trying is that the recording pukes don’t understand how anything works other than their narrow greed driven focus.
If they really wanted to go down that hole, They could force companies to register keys with the ISP so they could snoop.
It would add steps and make it more expensive, but how would you prevent registered companies from selling access to anyone who wanted to use that connection? You can’t really. Like the user above said, they’re ignorant to think they could force control. Users will find ways to circumvent these measures and will always be a step ahead.
As long as the encryption keys being used are registered with the ISPs they could decode it.
You would make the law so that if an ISP did not decode traffic for DPI, it would be liable for it. They’d drop any non DPI able packets so fast it’d make your head spin.
Not just ssh… any traffic allowed can be used to encapsulate. Open up dns, use that. The only giveaway is the amount of traffic .
It is good for my awareness to read the news about my country from another country. Or read the local news of some event at the (some obscure) local website from another country, instead of a summarized and perhaps skewed global news article of that same country.
Advertisers can’t figure out who you are and service providers don’t know if you are from where you say you are. This and age verification are about making money and commerce.
