How though? Commercial VPNs that simply function as proxies, sure. VPN as in the protocols themselves? Not possible without breaking too much stuff.
Yes, they can block the protocols. The VPN protocols are pretty easily detected by DPI, and they might just not care about breaking things (like what I've seen). There are ways to obfuscate such traffic, though.
Sure but someone hosts these services . I can make a VPN right now and the service is paid by my debit card.
If you have a friend outside airstrip one you can tunnel through them. I could see some kind of tailscale like mesh vpn type deal being deployed for this purpose
