Keep your tv disconnected from the internet completely like you did, and get a dedicated android box like the nvidia sheild for example. You can pick these up second hand for cheap.

Then uninstall any apps you do not require from the Sheild and you should be okay.

Now if you hold your own 4K media collection on a NAS you can install something like Plex and/or Jellyfin and keep your Nvidia Sheild completely offline only to access your local content. Though this really depends on your desired threat level or privacy level.

How can you ban a VPN (virtual private network)?

I have a VPN setup at home and at my parents home, I can connect either as if I was at either location physically. My office has VPNs for connecting between offices and connecting from remote locations. And dont get me started about being and to purchase a VPS in any country you want, and run a VPN on it.

Does this mean people and companies can no longer setup their own VPN's.

If this is about privacy and anonymity, evey bowsers on any device has a unique identifying fingerprint that allows it to be identifiable even using a VPN. So what is this ban even targeting?

I don't understand how this keeps coming up.

Do we need to go back to physical written letters?! Or do governments want access to all our correspondence both physical and digital.
