- ACCount36 1y agoNo. The links between the satellites are lasers, but the user traffic still goes up and down over radio. You still need the Starlink coverage to be enabled on system level, and the local government to care enough to track down Starlink users at the same time. I can't imagine that there are many countries that meet both criteria.
- coderatlarge 1y agoi believe countries with major firewalls and vpn blocking policies would track down and make examples of a set of users periodically if only to deter others.
