    You can’t block porn completely without blocking VPNs. If you connect to a VPN that’s all they can see. They can not see what you use the VPN for.

      You can’t block VPNs without blocking the entire internet. You can block known VPN services, but you can’t prevent people from hosting their own.

      Some known VPN protocols could be blocked, using introspection tools. However, this would just render corporate VPNs useless. VPN traffic is just bytes, and so is WebSockets. Good luck figuring out whether my HTTPS traffic is legitimate internet traffic, or masked VPN traffic.

        Good news, we closed that pesky loophole by banning encryption without backdoors.

        If they can’t decode it, you better be ready to explain exactly what those bytes were!

          Check out my cool new protocol that looks just like I am loading a webpage about cat facts, which is actually a hidden VPN that I use to secretly look at webpages about cat facts.
