    With deep packet inspection they can detect a VPN protocol connection attempt and drop it. There are already countries utilizing this method.

        Yes, my point is that banning protocols will kill all the commercial VPN offerings. Restricting a big size of the population. Obscure protocols like X-Ray can work but not everyone can set it up.

        And I think you can also raise some suspicion if you use too much bandwidth on that connection. GBs of data consumption from MyTotallyLegitWebsite.me can raise eyebrows. And that would be the only thing needed for a court notice or a visit by the police, depending upon the country. And in anti-democratic countries you’re guilty until proven innocent anyway.

          There are commercial xray servers where you just share them with people for a subscription price and it automatically updates with the freshest info

          GBs of data from a connection is not that uncommon. There’s a thing called cloudflare and you might already be hitting those IPs for gigabytes per month. You can route the VPN through cloudflare so it just looks like you’re visiting a lot of websites hosted by cloudflare
