Thanks. I personally doubt that the Government would ban VPN's for both technical & political reasons.

I was chatting to an engineer at a datacenter in Manchester last week who had heard that there had been meetings between Government ministers, ISP's and the big datacenters such as Equinox on options to limit or ban VPN's within the UK. It's a rumor but i would not put it past this Government who have put more surveillance on the public than any other Government.
My question to those who requested and got the online safety bill, what is there next target for the public to have to endure.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
Sod it. Let's just ban the internet altogether.
We'd have to go back to proper newspapers, libraries and books, thriving High Streets with shops, people cooking food at home, and IMO a massive boost to education and social welfare without mobile phones in everyone's face 24/7.
Postal service delivering actual letters, music shops selling CD's and Vinyl Albums, no more gigantic Data Centers being built, etc etc
oh, and no more Virgin price rises

It's the Tories who passed the Snoopers Charter and the Online Safety Act. But yes, Labour are no better.
I doubt they'll ban VPNs, too many knock-on effects.

Good, however making it illegal will not stop it. there are lots of actions that are illegal but there will always be those that still do it.
