They mostly use self-hosted VPNs, not your regular, everyday VPN like Mullvad or Proton VPN. So they're not going to ban the tech, but maybe they'll try to ban the public services.

I already host my own, so they'll have no power over me. Even if they successfully prevent me from making a VPN, I have other options (SOCKS proxies, SSH tunnels, etc).
