All VPNs stopped working now, I managed to find one for a smartphone but I need one much more for my ancient 12 years old laptop on windows 8.1, but all vpn clients I found requires win 10 minimum. Is there any client that will work with 8.1? Openvpn used to work fine until this morning but not anymore. Also I'm from Russia, yeah 🤕 I'll be grateful for any helpful tips, but I'm no tech/it fella at all

Wisconsin lawmakers push to ban VPNs in age verification bill A.B. 105, claiming to “protect children” by blocking privacy tools. But it’s technically impossible & harms businesses, students, journalists. “What the actual fuck?”

Privacy Watch: Michigan Bill Seeks to Ban VPNs & Online Content — Why Americans Must Take Action Now

Protecting Digital Freedom Is on the Line

On September 11, Michigan Republican representatives introduced a controversial piece of legislation known as the Anticorruption of Public Morals Act. If passed, this bill would not only ban adult content online but also outlaw VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) — a critical tool millions of Americans use to safeguard privacy, protect identities, and access a free and open internet.

The legislation, supported by six representatives, goes further than past bills in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi by demanding internet service providers block VPNs entirely, with penalties reaching up to $500,000. This isn’t just about adult content. It’s about setting a precedent that could strip away digital freedoms for every resident in Michigan — and possibly other states if similar bills follow.

Why This Matters to Every American

VPNs aren’t just for bypassing filters. They protect sensitive information on public Wi-Fi, prevent ISPs from tracking your browsing habits, and allow businesses to secure remote work. Blocking them puts everyday people, families, and businesses at risk.

What’s most alarming is how broad this law is. It doesn’t just target adult material — it includes AI-generated content, depictions of transgender individuals, and virtually any tool designed to bypass government-mandated internet restrictions. That means the freedom to learn, connect, and express yourself online could be silenced by political overreach.

A Call to Action

The Anticorruption of Public Morals Act has not yet passed committee or reached the Michigan Senate floor. But as CNET reports, bills like this can serve as templates for other states. If Americans remain silent, these proposals could quickly spread nationwide.

📢 What you can do now:

Stay informed by following updates from organizations like the ACLU and EFF.

Contact your representatives and make your voice heard.

Support digital rights advocacy groups working to preserve internet freedom.

Share information to ensure your friends, family, and community understand what’s at stake.

This isn’t just about Michigan — it’s about whether Americans will allow elected officials to dictate what we can or cannot do online. The time to act is now.

@chjara No but I think the #TikTokBan solves 0 issues and will only be weaponized against people deemed politically problematic...

Just like the "P.R." China only enforces it's #VPNban against dissidents...

But yeah I guess people will now pay a premium for a #EU-#import #iPhone...
