      There are still companies that actively maintain lists of VPN IPs. My employer is a big user of Akamai for CDN & web security. Although we don’t use it, I know Akamai has a highly accurate list of VPN addresses that customers have access to.

      They have dedicated blocks of IPs assigned to them, he would just have to block the blocks.

        if vpns still run in china where the entire security establishment (including all the network infrastructre) are playing cat and mouse with trying to block them i think they can manage it for a tech company clinging on with 1/3 of the required workforce.

          I’m not saying it’s difficult to do, it’s actually pretty simple. I’m just describing how it would be done.

      Vpns are open source, commodity software. You can set one up with a script at any webhost. He would have to block every site that lets you spin up server, which is most of the internet.

      Its not possible to actually block vpns without nation state access to interent infastructure, and even then it’s not easy.
