I think Jonah has being sarcastic there. Like, yes, technically you could use a non-VPN VPN, but its still basically a VPN and if VPNs are banned, would probably still be illegal enough if whatever government is in power ever needs a pretext to just grab you.

@rastilin@aus.social @Greylinux@floss.social @jonah@mastodon.neat.computer ah, sarcasm, if only I thought of using that... 😁 But yes, you're absolutely right, any government would have absolutely no idea about the difference between a VPN and routing specifix traffic via an alternative path than it would normally go. And I'll see them in court.

@rastilin@aus.social @paul@notnull.space @Greylinux@floss.social @jonah@mastodon.neat.computer If this law ever does come in, the law makers will have a lot of fun trying to define what a "VPN" is. At the basic level, it's just an encrypted network tunnel between two computers. Something that is logically and mathematically impossible to ban.
