If they are required by law to only sell to business with a valid licence, they also have to document that all their customers in that country have a valid business licence.

By selling it to someone private, even by proxy, would be illegal and they would be liable to lawsuits by doing so.

But what a PITA it would be if you have to use a seedbox for everything, and also expensive if you want/need to keep seeding torrents for extended periods of time so you're not just doing hit'n'runs. But yeah, piracy is pretty much always going to find a way to exist.

And seedboxes of course does nothing for the far more important general online privacy.

No you just need to disallow VPN providers to sell access without a business licence, that way the VPN provider can't legally give you access to their network unless you're a registered business, and it would simultaneously remove options for anonymous subscription like mullvad VPN.

Enforcing that you need a business licence to buy a VPN is easy and requires very little. They suddenly can't sell you a subscription if you can't provide the business licence.

The phrasing of the law would most likely allow use of VPN for commercial use but ban for private use, so it's unlikely to have a major impact on coorporate IT work in general.

The article also mentions this VPN ban in a context of VPN services being marketed specifically for piracy use as the scope rather than "legitimate" VPN services in general.

But yeah, these people can get bent...

No I want full access to my home media server for streaming, I have very little use for SSH only in this case.

Is it creepy what people collect data on their own viewing habits so they can visualise data for fun and keep track of things they've watched? I'm not sure I understand why that is creepy TBH. It's not like people are collecting data on viewing habits of random strangers.

LMGTFY

TL:DR it's an application for gathering statistics on jellyfin users and watching habits.

Yeah this actually works, but only specifically for openvpn on 443 in TCP mode...anything wireguard is blocked regardless of port.

This did the trick, ingot my tailscale to stay connected by using my phone AP to log on and then switched to hotel WiFi...thanks

I haven't encountered a captive portal at all. I can use the internet just fine without VPN.

I'll give that a go
