It depends on the motivations of the people behind the ban, though. VPNs aren't terribly interesting to the government over a porn age verification plan, largely because subscribing to a VPN costs money and requires a debit card. Some might manage that, but most probably won't. If the motivation was to ban porn entirely and they valued that more than they valued giving business a break (banning VPNs being rather bad news for some companies) then it'd be another story.
