Let's see, lawsuits, banning, political takedowns, what else can go wrong?
They are proposing laws in some US states. What are we to throw into the harbor now?
Are the YouTube shorts broken?

MOD edit. You have to edit out shorts. Fixed
I know too much and question everything.
Does anyone know the minimum safe distance of ignorance?
Did anyone ask the monkeys how much fun the barrel actually was?

IP blacklisting and traffic fingerprinting.
It's not foolproof.
And VPNs constantly update and evade.
But yeah, blocking VPNs is very real and fairly common in practice.
Again, a game of cat and mouse.
And around and around they go, where it stops, nobody knows.

That sounds about right. LoL
It's a provocative but reasonable hypothesis that the first cave art contained pornography full of fertility and erotic symbolism.
Not particularly my cup a tea, but each to their own.

Go to infosniper.net while you are on your vpn, its provider is under ISP. If i had to guess its probably digital ocean.
I need to decide on which one to purchase first.
Should i pay a fixed cost for a couple of years(dont really want to get locked in)or pcm?
Im leaning towards Nord, Shurfshark, or Proton, but have yet to decide.
Do you use infosniper?

Ahh yes, VPN’s, soon to become the next target. One day people might wake up to what’s going on, but I’m not all that hopeful. Just frogs enjoying the warm water currently, slowly getting warmer.

There is a largely suppressed alarmist in me...
It may only be a 'me' thing, but...
This is not about safety... it's about security under surveillance.
Who watches the watchers?

"They" were always going to seize the internet.
The moment they realised its full potential.
Not just as a tool for communication, but as a mechanism of control, commerce, and surveillance.

Infosniper is just an ip geolocation utility that you can use to look up the provider behind your vpn.

Ah, right, i see.
Well, i guess i will need to pick one first.
Thus far i have managed with the simple free versions.

I think blocking the entire ip subnet range for digital ocean would be pretty fool proof. Here's a list of their public vpn ip ranges
107.170.0.0/17 162.243.0.0/17 188.226.128.0/17 46.101.128.0/17 37.139.0.0/19 45.55.0.0/19 45.55.32.0/19 45.55.64.0/19
block that and most vpns should fail, also i would block UDP ports and common VPN tcp ports that should just about stop it all. Then they will really have to work to get around it but I guarantee that the guys at the electronic freedom foundation *eff.org* will never let that happen to the UK. You will learn to tunnel with SSH.
