what are you going to do about it? complain?
@sun@shitposter.world what can we do?
@sun@shitposter.world @feld@friedcheese.us they can't, really. They can only ban normie vpn apps on the app store. Completely banning all vpns is impossible and would also make doing business impossible for most companies
@feld@friedcheese.us @sun@shitposter.world china bans unapproved vpns but they're still widely used by the population
@sun@shitposter.world @feld@friedcheese.us It's impossible to control unless governments just start banning all internet connectivity outside the country
You can run VPNs over TCP, but then you are running TCP on TCP which creates problems with retransmission getting stupid.
In another thread about UK/VPNs and others I've said this:
If they go full China and build a nationwide firewall, they have everything they need. But step 1 is making it illegal in the first place, then complaining that people are circumventing their "measures", which creates a pretext for creating it.
@phnt @anemone @feld @cjd @sun I'm not an expert on this, but can someone create a VPN that works via steganography? Because from what I've heard, in countries that ban Tor, Tor bridges are still usable because they hide your Tor traffic in VoIP packets which makes it extremely hard to determine if you are using Tor in the first place. I wonder if the same can be done with VPNs.
