    They will not outlaw VPNs. Every major company uses a form of VPN to allow workers to connect remotely. No chance this will happen.

      They could still compel VPN providers to give them information about users and user activity, if something like the RESTRICT act passes in order to limit access to international networks/apps.

      Not exactly a ban, but it would absolutely negate the intended purpose for most VPN users (myself included).
