I've had some random forum call me out for using a VPN. Twitch and imgur see me and reject my connection from most of my VPNs exits. They know. Cloudflare probably has VPN traffic as a config option.
The advantage of a VPN is masking your identity. If you tried to torrent movies on your buddy's connection, he'd get the legal notice and probably turn you in.
Now if you were doing something serious like whistleblowing...
It's trivial to make your own VPN, but that isn't the hard part.
All public VPNs will be eliminated. People will have to use private VPNs now. This just means the only people who'll be using VPNs soon are a very select few of hardcore users, so few now that AI will be able to relatively accurately identify who you are if you're even slightly known to authorities.
Here we go- the outlawing of VPN starts now
You can't outlaw VPNs... There is no way for the website to even identify the user, and if the website deletes logs, there is nothng anyone can do.
And even if the website keeps log, what are you goign to do? OMG someone with a VPN accessed your website!
There are services which store a list of known VPN IPs. It's common for these IPs to be treated differently. Typically extra capchas.
Lawmakers can mandate the use of these services and strip them off 230 protection is they don't. This would make VPNs not illegal, but unusable.
You get extra captcha because the volume from those IPs is greater than usual, making websites think it's a bot.
Also if you are really stuck, you can just set your own VPS (or use custom DNS)

I used a VPN a bunch back in college because the school network was gay. The VPN ran on a buddies spare pc on the other side of the country.

The way China controls VPNs is by forcing deep packet inspection at the ISP level. I believe Russia does similar.
Yet people still use VPNs in China somehow
Maybe they don't police it for certain uses. I just know the government can still track you in those places, and here as well if they target you.
Still ways around that. Setup your own remote VPS, doesn't take a meddal.

I doubt it.
That's antisemitic, 90% of VPN companies are owned by Israeli companies
The C.I.A is going to be pissed about this.
