If China can’t ban VPNs there is not a chance that our bumbling incompetent government will be able to
Jesus Christ I can’t even play a multiplayer game with Chinese PTW cheaters who DDoS at the drop of a hat without giving up my ID now?
‘Close loopholes’ = ‘track everything everyone does online”.
As usual, ‘for the children’ is just a lame excuse that anyone with half a brain can see through, but when did that stop our government doing things the majority of its citizens didn’t actually want?
This is idiotic. You don’t even need a VPN to get around the porn ban, almost all porn sites are unblocked and can easily be accessed by anyone without a VPN. Check yourself; google the word „porn“ and almost every site is unblocked.
Disgusting if it happens and means ill never vote labour again. Frankly never been more disappointed in a government that had some hope
2 masters in Cyber Security here.
You can’t ban a vpn. China and North Korea can’t ban vpns, we certainly can’t.
You block vpn protocols, the banking system and remote working, and basically all government departments collapse (and having worked for the government in Cyber a few years back, everyone relies on them lol).
You aren’t banning vpns. Ignore this stupid headline.
Anything but ask parents to actually parent.
Labour has no idea how unpopular their draconian online over reach is.
They’ll be genuinely be scratching their heads at the backlash.
and to think only last week there were cretins here screaming this wasn’t happening
I love how your options on the other side of the pond are 1984 or Corporate Fascism.
And yet it still seems wildly better than our options of Corporate Fascism or Sharia Law Evangelical edition.
We used to condemn and ridicule China for how undemocratic and draconian this kind of stuff was, How the times change
Companies use VPNs to ensure data tunneling for remote workers. Governments use them for that reason. Especially if they’re traveling because having everything over public wifi or whatever, unencrypted is incredibly insecure
This won’t be practical lol. It’ll crash the economy
I require a VPN when I’m in Belfast because some of the hotels connect to an ROI IP, and it locks me out from accessing streaming apps because of the geofencing
Can’t wait for me not to be able to do my job unless I give my ID to some third party.
imagine they send you the police to your home for googling, how to use vpn after being banned.
Every major company in the UK uses VPNs. They are incredibly clueless.
Let’s wait for censorship supporters to explain to the public why it is so important to hammer free speech (exactly after the well-known files’ publication).
Has anyone that has commented actually bothered to read the article. The headline is hardly accurate to the content where it states about banning vpns for under 18s, not a blanket ban
China has tried aggressively to ban VPNs for years, and they’re still unsuccessful. Getting around them is a piece of cake and both Chinese residents and visitors do so all the time.
Is the British Government really telling me they’d be better at it?
This is government overreach. Fix the water and NHS like you are supposed too.
Clearly the „ban VPNs“ line was distributed to allied media today, LBC were pushing it on the radio as well.
You can’t ban VPNs lol.
What will actually happen is that they will use this law to prosecute their enemies and pains in the arses – if it is politically expedient to do so. They’ve done it with the terrorism act, they’ve done it with the protest thing. They’re currently trying their best to overturn high court rulings and lessen what trials can done by a jury.
Labour are going out of their way to roll back rights, just in time for the far right to take over. Typical centrists, the vanguard for the fash.
Just use a VPN to sign in to your VPN and then let 2 people use yours to sign in theirs and they do the same. This continues and continues until a sort of pyramid structure is formed.
**What they claim**: protect children from explicit content and grooming on social media, and shut down circumvention methods
**What they will achieve**: de facto UK ban on social media, VPNs, and adult content
Because to access these, you will need to hand over personal data (government photo ID, or biometrics) to unknown third party companies, whether you are a minor or adult. These companies are often based abroad and already got breached in the past. Most people will not want to do this as the risks outweigh the benefits. Even those who do, will learn the hard way after they eventually suffer identity theft, fraud, have their bank accounts emptied, someone else commit benefit fraud in their name, etc. to not hand over their info in the future..
Considering the source, they’re no doubt exaggerating with „ban“ because such a ban is unworkable for the many reasons already stated. It’ll just be a typical „ID Verification“ shite
Genuinely about to crash out. I need some plant equipment, a lot of thick steel plates and a welder.
This article is posted in the Daily Express. Let’s wait and see what a proper news source has to say.
Children can’t buy vpns. How stupid is this government
Lol.
Secure internet traffic – Port 443.
VPN – Port 443.
Both garbled 1s and 0s until the other end decrypts it.
It’s the same thing. Not blockable unless we’re banning all secure internet traffic.
Bye bye internet banking, any online privacy, secure communication or authentication.
Old man yells at cloud.
