    Not sure what the impossibility is. VPN's have a set of exit relays. If traffic is coming from one of those exit relays, it's coming from a VPN, so adult websites can be required to block traffic from those exit relays. What am I missing?

      The law requires blocking all VPN access.

      It's impossible to have perfect knowledge of the entire set of VPN exit node addresses.

        Sounds like a problem for those pesky, nasty porn websites, not a problem for the good christian lawmakers..
