Internet Filtering in Canada: Rogers' NHL Blocking Order

Maybe I am missing some important fact here but why can't you just use a VPN and bypass their attempts at "filtering"?

If a VPN can do the trick, I think it would be hilarious if TekSavvy provided a free vpn to all their customers.

I don’t think you even need a VPN, just to set your DNS to 8.8.8.8 or similar:

> The latest version of the list of sites to be blocked does not require us to block any IP addresses, so we are not doing so.

Seems the long term trajectory will be that the only way to access a neutral net will be via VPN.

And then governments will come after VPNs' service providers, and ensure even VPNs don't get access to a neutral Internet...

I predict within 10 years businesses will have to license VPNs from the government and it'll be illegal for the general public.
