You know I cannot quantify damages from a program that forces compliance without transparency through gag orders. I can point out that preventing the use of a VPN does not halt an entire company, you can still connect and work exactly the same as with a VPN it's just not in a secure and private manner but what are you trying to hide? /s
No matter what you and I believe it's irrelevant, if privacy goes on the chopping block than a VPN access would need to go with it and the technology is currently irreplaceable as-is but that doesn't negate the possibility that it can become regulated. Privacy should be a human right but you and I both know that equality isn't always equal and there's a large portion of government over numerous groups that all have their own agendas and understand the advantages of knowledge and the power it can bestow. You're trying to fight greed and greed only cares about getting more.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk and best of luck to you frezik, I hope you're right but I'm not going to hold my breath.
