   Reminds me of a funny story of how russian government faced the same paradox, and they solved it in the most elegant way – all foreign traffic equals VPN, all foreign traffic is forbidden. Russian people outside of russia literallt can't access state services without a "reverse-vpn" now.

   If you think they will stop at a mere "technical impossibility" I have bad news for you folks, they will just ban all the traffic they can't track, in Utah, UK, anywhere;)

      It is a good security approach, isn't it? An allowed list only.

         For sure, there is also the best security approach – just turn the damn thing off, which they also practice quite often. POS terminals turn into bricks, apps turn into splash screens, businesses loose ton of money, all of this this is just a minor nuisance for an ordinary russian citizen.
