These outdated troglodytes in the cushy retirement home probably wouldn’t know what a VPN was if you explained to them. Half the time they’re asleep on the bench dreaming of days gone by.
They've been told that 'the criminals' use it for they think it's the only reason people use it. We should shut down the phone sustem, postal system and just about any form of communication seeing as those are used by criminals but these old farts use those and not VPNs. They don't understand VPN is pretty much the only way of working remotely and a vast number of other legitimate reasons.
They don't have to know, they just have to trade favours.
They probably wish that the days of serfdom would come back.
