What are the chances that this gets passed? It should be a vote from the people, but they know we don't want it. But if they pass it there and no one riots, they'll pass it everywhere.
This is something no one should allow. VPNs are the backbone of security in businesses. Not just work from home. We would be wide open to cyber attacks, with no defenses.
Whoever this lawmaker is, I hate their fuckin guts.
The article suggests that if VPNs are banned, businesses will have to find other ways to secure their connections and that would be expensive. But it's not even clear that anything could do that job without, by that very fact, counting as a VPN according to this bill and/or others like it. Effectively, they're proposing an end to all securely tunnelled connections across the internet, and that would just make the internet useless for a lot of things businesses (and the rest of us) need to do.
According to that bill, does a wss connection count as a securely tunneled connection? If so, that'd break several webapps LOL.
not everyday internet users.
for now...
