Also force any companies who rely on VPNs to move out of the state, further decimating their tax base.

I wonder if an MPLS circuit would fall under the category of VPN for the purposes of this proposed law lol.

Also good fucking luck, anyone could just proxychains through an AWS ec2 or anything else they have ssh access to in order to get out of Michigan, then send the traffic through whatever VPN they want at that point.

Oh I'm sure they'll carve exceptions for businesses. THEY matter, humans don't. /s btw if that wasn't clear.

A lot of VPNS can go over 443 and 80 now. Just block all internet.

And thus my new business model is born. For only $1/month, I will pay you to watch porn and test my payment processor by receiving a $1 refund.
