This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Couldn't people just hire a VPS in another country and VPN with that using Wireguard etc, or even use RDP etc to it? Is it even a VPN if you're remotely operating a computer in another country?
Refer to other comment. They don't see "VPN traffic", they see encrypted tunnels between two ports to some offshore vps. At best, they see a header saying "openvpn". The article is alluding to the country effectively wanting to crack down on encrypted tunnels (because you cannot discriminate VPNs from them). At best, maybe they're just christofascist idiots.
I though the UK was a Western democracy. What the hell are you guys doing over there?
labour really doesn't want people to access lgbtq safe spaces and resources huh?
Bye bye UK economy. How do you expect businesses to work without VPNs?
The Collective Shout Out must feel envious of such power... Think about all what they could ban, you know, for you and your children protection of course.
Ah, fascism on the rise.
Banning VPNs is quite a serious move.
The UK government doth protest too much about protecting the kids. It’s obvious that this whole thing is just an attempt to increase the surveillance of the UK population.
Will the next step be banning VPS then? Because that's what will happen: if you ban VPNs (good luck with that lol), people will just connect to a VPS in a less stupid country and exit from there.
I hope they start looking at TOR too, that should be really fun.
