By the way, does anyone here know if VPN providers will also be on the UK blacklist?

- Udo 13y agoI'm not sure we're talking about the same usage scenario. If this was a problem there would be an exemption process for large companies, but I'm talking about private usage. I believe big corporations are not all that likely to use privacy-as-a-service VPNs. Or do you mean normal corporate VPN, as in dial-into-the-office VPN? That would obviously not be blockable or even blockworthy. But as far as the privacy VPNs are concerned: If proxy sites are being blocked, isn't it reasonable to expect the same for VPN providers?
- harrytuttle 13y agoWe have a number of clients using cheap/privacy vpns as their mobile ISPs fuck with the traffic going through plain IP connections.
- Udo 13y agoThat's reasonable, but I'm guessing most large corporations have their own VPN service that links directly into the company network, right? I would imagine the expense of having a CryptoCat account for every single employee on the road quickly becomes larger than the overhead of running your own VPN server. I have some medium-sized corporate clients who have their own VPN servers at HQ in order to enable people to work from home, it would be trivial to use these for mobile devices as well.
