No more Pornhub? That will depend on what happens with a Senate bill::A Senate bill might cause the owners of Pornhub to block access to the site in Canada, its owners say.

      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

          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

              They will comply, but the users won’t. Pornhub can’t tell you’re using a VPN

              It’s a Canadian law, wouldn’t affect America. America banning VPNs would be much more dire

              Also having a VPN in the country where pornhub is banned would be pointless for the purpose of going to pornhub

      That’s not feasible. A lot of companies have VPNs to protect their own networks. This increased with work from home during the pandemic. There are too many domino effects.

      With SSH and an AWS instance, I can create my own VPN. It’s not that hard with a bit of Linux experience. Canada would be about as successful at this as the US was at keeping PGP away from foreign exports.
