I wasn't talking about the technology behind VPNs. Every single country that "bans VPNs" still uses them commercially to some extent.

What I consider a ban on VPNs is a ban on commercial B2C VPN providers that do not comply with US legislation - meaning they'd allow customers to access banned sites.

Add the fact that pretty much all major payment providers happen to be US companies and I'd wager 99% of "normal" access could be blocked.
