    They will see you connecting to the VPN and use it as an excuse to seize your computer if they want to. It likely won’t be a thing they do to everyone. Just like in China, that will enforce the laws primarily against people who don’t toe the party line.

    The purpose is not to ban porn. They don’t actually care about that morality. The purpose is to create a framework to suppress dissent.

      If connecting to a computer in Canada is sufficient excuse seize someone’s computers, then banning VPNs won’t make a difference. There’s no way for them to know that it’s a VPN. It’ll just look like any other internet traffic.
