How can you ban a VPN (virtual private network)?

I have a VPN setup at home and at my parents home, I can connect either as if I was at either location physically. My office has VPNs for connecting between offices and connecting from remote locations. And dont get me started about being and to purchase a VPS in any country you want, and run a VPN on it.

Does this mean people and companies can no longer setup their own VPN’s.

If this is about privacy and anonymity, evey bowsers on any device has a unique identifying fingerprint that allows it to be identifiable even using a VPN. So what is this ban even targeting?

Pretty much, BTW you also want to disable WiFi and Bluetooth when entering big box stores.

They are notorious for tracking your phone, and by extension you and your shopping habbits when you step into one if their stores.

Second hand sales and flee markets, no cameras (mostly true) and you can pay cash.

If I run WireGuard at home as a personal VPN does it provide the same sort of QUIC obfuscation? Or is there something that I can implement similar?

Yup Facebook can and does scrap other websites.

Those log in with Facebook buttons tracking you all over the web even if you don’t log in with them.

My guess maybe a website like LinkedIn for example had your middle name and facebook used that to build your full name on your deleted account (that’s still floating around out there by the long last of it)

Imagine getting a request to have a government official access your self-hosted Nextcloud instance that you might be running behind a self-hosted VPN.

I doubt it would be 100% completely possible, it was more of a hypothetical thought in its self.

Knowing most services are reliant on the internet now, such a POS (point of sale) devices in stores, home phones, condo intercoms, buying airline tickets.

Its would definitely be easier to just stay away or block enshitified parts at the firewall level. Though in some cases even then I find myself using Facebook for its Marketplace only as a example.

Inshitification of the Internet, who would have thought.

I wonder what it would take now to ditch the internet like one would do when ditching Facebook for example.

I had to ditch Google Photos app because of my paranoia, about this exact same thing that happened to you.

Could not be more correct. Public spaces and transit, cities need to be for the people that live there. Not for suburban commuters

Got excited about a four slot toaster that I bought.

What if I told you the gum that you chew was also made from plastic.

Mad Men the picnic scene.

Littering wasn’t a concern back then. When Don casually tossed the can aside, I was astonished and confused. Then to make matters worse, Betty shakes off the rubbish from the picnic blanket onto the ground before heading to the car. Not a care in the world at all.

Try to do the same today and a park would be filled with plastic wrappers in a few days.

When I go for a bike ride with my SO we always ride side by side on streets that have a posted limit at or below 40kmh.

We usually only ride side by side on residential streets. Occasionally we get someone driving too close to us when passing or shouting out their windows saying single file in the same way.

Its like going for a walk, we would not walk in a single file, neither would we sit in a car in single file.

Secret to the US public?

Soon we will all be plastic. Its already in our food and water.

What i really think about is these are only the effects so far from the plastics that have started to break down from when plastics were created (smaller quantities). What happens when the plastics of today start to break down (larger quantities).

Kind of like the effects of oil (air pollution) being felt 30-50 years down the line.

I would really like to see an individual on a mobility scooter or wheelchair use this lane.

Even our sidewalks in most of north America feel like a after thought.
