The UK Government is planning to ban VPN's in forthcoming legislation. Not sure what happened to the Labour amendment that would make that reality but it is in the sights of the lawmakers.
Unless they criminalise it and go for the payment processors. Would paid VPN providers be happy to provide their service for free to UK residents? Probably not. Can't see them going down the crypto route either when the majority of their customers don't use crypto and may not even know how it works. It would be like how porn sites have been hit hard with payment processors refusing service to them.
The UK government desperately trying to block it despite vpns being a thing for years....
Don't know how accurate it is but there are more factors at work that would want to suppress it than popularise it so probably accurate.

That'd be like the whack a mole game they do with pirate sites, it's just a waste of resources.
