With a lot of talk from governments around the world trying to either ban or restrict VPNs, I'm curious to know what are our options if they follow through? I know we can use the Tor network, but is there other options? I assume we could self-host our VPN since I don't think it would be affected by a possible ban. Is there a less tech-savvy option I'm not aware of? I'm just trying to understand all of my options just in case a ban does happen.

Dynamic port forwarding; I happened to see a post on mastodon that depicted it immediately after posting.
Basically, you create an ssh dynamic tunnel, and proxy the necssary traffic to it.
