I think they will ban vpns but as this article hints at, more regulation

    So SSH tunneling it is

    That is until encryption is outlawed altogether making the internet truly a horrible place to be

    Like all things that are prohibited it will just go underground.

    So long as two computers are able to talk to one an other it will be possible to encrypt that traffic>

    Oh of course but the problem is that it still has to pass through routers that, if they can't understand the package content, will block / report/ whatever is needed. Now, I know I can still hide encrypted stuff in plain sight, but it would wreck open protocols like SSH

    I think that would look like implementing backdoors, which is of course an effective end to encryption. I have thought of how Steganography could be used to hide the a message and hide the fact your using encryption. I would imagine this would only be useful for messaging purposes however.
