How do they plan to ban VPNs? Not on the legal side - they’ll just say they’re banned.

But in the real world, I can disguise my packets to not look like VPN packets, and I can also use many different types of obfuscation to ensure my activity stays private.

So my question is: where are the epstein files?

They don't, because every business uses one.

Michigan's bill would charge internet service providers with detecting and blocking VPN use, as well as banning the sale of VPNs in the state.

Sounds like they are basically planning to tell ISPs to just figure it out, and suing VPN companies that don't block people from their state.
