I don't see how that could be done at either a technical or political level. From the technical, there's no difference in the traffic to detect. From the political, foreign VPNs would be unencumbered and given that it's free there's no lever to pull at banks to stop payments. Some VPN providers will take payment in cash that you mail in. There's probably also convoluted ways to get access without a credit card. Roblox money -> Bitcoin -> VPN, or maybe just those crappy phone apps that have you do surveys and stuff that allow you to redeem a VPN coupon.
