Who said the UK is going to ban VPN?

Genuine question. That's news to me and I'm here.

The "Technology Secretary" is actively investigating it[0].

Apologies for the youtube shorts link, but Liz Kendall was on LBC yesterday talking about VPNs:

I believe they're "doing research" into it, which basically means they don't understand how any of it works.

It mostly happened already and it's in motion.

They said so. "Nothing is off the table" was the quote, iirc.

Think of the children that will bypass all of the "protections" recently adopted by the UK.

How would they even do that? A VPN is just a remote machine. Anything can be a VPN

		Like in Russia `- drop wireguard / OpenVPN packets crossing the country border - analyze https traffic to detect traffic patterns not matching https fully and block such connections`

		And some including mullvad already accept payment in crypto, there will always be some dodgy VPN company in some dodgy jurisdiction that will take your BTC in exchange for an account. I don’t think that will stop them trying though
