    Corporate VPNs don’t make it look like you’re in a third world country, though.

    If I’m working for a megacorp in New York and I work from home, I would use a VPN on my company issued laptop to make the corp’s network think I’m on the intranet, and thus, it’s okay to serve me intranet resources and secure files. If I go to a location based site (such as Google Maps), I’ll still show up in New York, not Bumfuck Egypt.

    I don’t think they’ll ban corporate VPNs. I think they will go after the privacy respecting ones, though. And if you’re a hobbyist using a VPN for your server and it’s not masking your location, I think that’s something that will be allowed. All these regional restrictions though, like on porn sites, I do think they will go after companies that let you defeat those restrictions.
