@ubuntu are you prepared to deny #Linux downloads to the UK without ID/age checks, as the distribution provides a #VPN server/client by default ?

Banning VPNs in any capacity is a bad idea. If you're worried about your kids looking at porn, learn how to use parental controls

Journalists and whistleblowers use VPNs to stay safe in restrictive countries

people like me use them to stay safe when they interact with people online

ever heard of swatting? without a VPN it's a lot easier for that to happen to you

Petition: Do not ban children from using virtual private networks

We call upon the UK Government to reject any calls or lobbying that propose to restrict or ban the use of virtual private networks ("VPNs") for children, because of the impact this would have on other VPN users.

I'm really interested in this VPN hysteria that's going on lately, that it will steal privacy and stuff.
Some time ago, because of security compromise, my company issued an security training, and we were with top-edge security professionals talking about what to do, or not. And one of the points, that I was surprised to learn, is that all of the experts were saying that VPN is ineffective and unnecessary. It creates the illusion of safety. But it's a business model.
What a Load Of Bull$&@?…
