That's not feasible. A lot of companies have VPNs to protect their own networks. This increased with work from home during the pandemic. There are too many domino effects.

With SSH and an AWS instance, I can create my own VPN. It's not that hard with a bit of Linux experience. Canada would be about as successful at this as the US was at keeping PGP away from foreign exports.

Government can do whatever it wants.

Not really. The definition of failed state is when people openly ignore the government.

What is it called when the government openly ignores itself?
