I think with the stupid rules about banning vpns, digital ids and other garbage. Maybe bbsing might have a return as a tool for us to communicate in the future.
I just did a Google search and I see an article from today saying lawmakers in some US states want to ban VPNs. I doubt that would succeed, since VPNs have legitimate use cases - A common one is that companies often use VPNs to allow people at several of their sites to basically be on the same network. There is stand-alone VPN software, but Windows itself also has built-in support for VPNs. People also use VPNs for privacy, which I think is a legitimate use case; also, some people like to use VPNs to get content from streaming services that's normally only available in other countries.
I've heard some governments like China have banned VPNs, but they do it for reasons that I don't think is something the US would do.
