Baroness Lloyd, said in the UK House of Lords that "nothing is off the table" when it comes to protecting children online, though she acknowledged there are "no current plans to ban the use of VPNs".

But how do you ban VPN's? Like am I not going to be able to remote into work or the office? Or will I now not be able to connect into my own private VPN that I run at home.
