Again, how do you track a connection to a data center? VPN software is freely available on GitHub. Are you blocking GitHub too?
Even China can't do it fully
Again, if vpns are banned, and vpn software is banned, all US companies will have to abide or die. GitHub is American. Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc. Windows, macOS, Android, could all be forced to report. The year of the Linux desktop!!
Your ISP knows where you go. They just pull the plug on IPs they know are VPNs.
No, nobody cares about Canadian law
How do you know an IP is a VPN? I can change the address of my VPS at any time
Pornhub might care about Canadian law, seeing as they’re a Canadian company
They will comply, but the users won't. Pornhub can't tell you're using a VPN
