MODERATORS
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.
