Does the Noble Quran only refer to OpenVPN tunnels or it also covers WireGuard? What if I'm setting my own server on a halal VPS?

What they actually said is not that VPNs are banned, but using them to access blocked content is. First they mention porn, which is straightforward religiously, but then they also state that accessing blocked "disinformation" is also haram, which is gibberish and has no basis in either religious or secular morals.
It depends on where your VPS physically is and the last name of the persons father hosting it.
Explain the last name joke?
In trying to explain my joke I think I found it may not directly apply outside of the Arabic speaking Arab world, but typically last names are important as they say who the person is the son or daughter of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_name?wprov=sfti1#Ism
It isn’t just a lineage of last names but who your daddy is.
If I remember correctly from my Arabic class in college some people can have even longer lineage names with multiple peoples included.
Pakistan seems to be sort of a mix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistani_name?wprov=sfti1#Full_name
I also found this random paper describing Afghani naming so I wonder if I was wrong. https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=e7a649988b7aad015ea8fa972239c7fe9e6ede03
Didn't their prime minister recently use a VPN to congratulate Trump on X, which is blocked from access by the same govt?
I'm not sure. Are you asking to get an answer?
No, I wanted to bring out the irony. Maybe an '‽' would have been better than the '?' I put at the end of my comment.
This is plainly insane.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster has decreed to me that VPN use is totally cool and his worshipers should feel ok using them. 🍝
That was my official religion during last census!
Lol
So boning 8 year olds is cool, but a VPN is a step too far?
Boning 8 year olds is tradition. Vpn is new scary tech.
Boning 8 year olds is tradition.
For whom? You?
For the entire planet, prior to the last few hundred years. Religion agreed, because pedos are attracted to power and religious leaders were the most powerful.

Typical religion, just making up stupid shit to enforce their control over people.
Main use is to hit western porn sites. Just be honest and say being horny is banned.
Pass me some apostate-o chips while I log in then!
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Wait till they hear about the HA-RAM proxy..... For when your memory needs to be available now!
Let's use this against yallcada when they try the same.
They also threw fatwa at Jerry (yes, that cartoon mouse) before, so.
