I can't imagine a junior developer not being able to set up a vpn in 2023, and if by some bizarre turn of fate he isn't able to he is a junior and other people will just tell him how to do it.
>And even if you ignore that fact, can you imagine the hit the gdp will take if thousands of companies need to setup vpns?
No? vpn's are cheap and honestly I doubt most of the companies need to read github code*, and those that do well just use the vpn. Hell you can even not pay for it but use opera's free built in VPN, use Tor on clearnet as a VPN of sorts, all for effectively zero cost.
