I'm not convinced. I use a VPN basically always, and frequently get blocked by VPN detectors. It's not perfect - sometimes switching VPN servers/providers gets me past it, but websites can employ VPN-detection technology. Then they just block you, which is what this is all about. Force companies to start blocking VPN traffic. It'll be at the individual site level for a while, then at the ISP level in a few years.

There are VPNs like Mysterium that specifically advertise being "unblockable" because they cycle through thousands of residential IPs instead of using a stable set of easily-blacklisted addresses. These will probably get more popular. Also, self-hostable proxies running on any cloud you want are already very easy to set up and use. And they can easily run on any platform large or small. It's just always going to be so easy to get around these rules for anyone who knows how to use a coding agent, which is basically as easy as using Google.

In a single sentence you explained how trivial it is to get around the current technology, then said they can just use the same thing. It’s so simple, just make it perfect and use it?
