So all in all, as a techie for 40 odd years now, I really don't know what they could do to start attempting that. Rather than say "banning it".
Perhaps claim it is illegal and hope that stops it? There's a whole bunch of valid uses for vpns too.

I am pretty sure the packet-sniffing tech which failed to stop torrenting won't work for vpns. So the ISPs probably won't stop them.
And given most of government stuff runs on windows, and is stored on a cloud in texas, they'll not even know what linux is either.
Bad facial recognition has always been ones of mythical solutions offered to governments by tech, but I'm just wondering where they'd start to validate a vpn?
Are they going to monitor address space from the big vpn companies (then just change to a provider not listed, and then you're on the...

In real american, not nazi america, that would be a racist attack.
It would be in any civilised country.
The catholic church very much has a long history of being first behind the fascists, helping them out.
The fact they're killing off their own people from catholic nations, well, that just shows how cowardly and plaint they are.
So much for that pope, eh?
Someone asked me "Why are you so tolerant to people who've suddenly changed their views" (meant become facists/racists).
