    I mean, no 100% guarantees here, but I don’t know how they would block it…

    I guess they could just block an entire massive port range or something, but I think that would break a good chunk of the internet.

    I think the more realistic fear in this case would be your own at home router or pc itself having backdoors and rootkits you don’t know about, that then ‘phone home’, or perhaps store some kind of local log you don’t know exists, that they grab physically.

    Yeah I think they’d have to basically say ‘its illegal to use anything other than a US gov approved router and browser and OS, brought to you by megagcorp,’ full on cyberpunk fascist overdrive.

    Now would even that totally block it? Technically, no, effectively, probably?

    Honestly, do you own research on this… I’m not an expert, I could be wrong, but my understanding of it so far is that… yeah, it would take ‘unthinkable’ measures to effectively block this.
