Unless your host is in the States, and then installing it would be a violation. Detecting the presence of vpn software on a vps would be cake. Would they do it? Probably not. It’s less about would it and more about could it. I think it would be hilarious to watch any government spend time on this instead of… actual shit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] iopq@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) 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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Right, Canada.
