VPNs do next to nothing and require a credit card.
Tor will definitely benefit from this however.
- crtasm 8y agoA credit card, or PayPal, or some cryptocurrency, or the ability to install Opera browser, etc etc. If they sidestep your ISP's block list that's hardly nothing?
- lb1lf 8y ago-A suitable VPN will make it appear that you are in a country with more enlightened censorship laws than the UK. I can hardly see say, SwissVPN adapting the block list for customers whose traffic originates in the UK. The upside of this whole debacle is that the UK government have finally created a strong incentive for the UK population to educate themselves on online privacy and censorship evasion; the EFF should send Theresa May a (snarky!) thank you-note.
