Or that will be their first target
I2P stumbles out of bar drunk, my timesss has come!
Is it possible to access clearnet sites on I2P? (I haven't used it before but I have heard of it.)
Theoretically possible but definitely not built for it.
Tor serves the clear net access problem.
I2P because of its design is a lot better suited for p2p file transfers, while maintaining anonymity.
Yes, check out outproxies
Not an easy target, since the technology/protocol is integral to many large businesses' infosec operations.
You don't have to ban VPNs. Just force everyone doing business in the US to keep logs and to comply with blocking websites via federal law (that will be dictated by the MPAA)
Boom. VPNs "banned"
Just use a foreign VPN (basically all trustworthy, privacy-focused VPN providers are located outside the US, e.g. Mullvad in Sweden, IVPN in Gibraltar or Proton VPN in Switzerland) and connect to an exit server outside the US
I mean, that's not out of the realm of possibility of things going down that way, but good luck getting that passed and then enforcing that, especially internationally.
Also, I have to wonder if there's an argument to be made about undue burden. But NAL, so dunno.
Well...any VPN provider that won't comply would be blocked from doing business in the US.
Which you can bypass… with a vpn. Self fulfilling market offer.
