Pretty soon VPN's will be illegal too.

No they won’t. Virtually every tech company in the world uses them. If any legislation was proposed then companies from the likes of Google and Microsoft down to hundreds of companies with fewer than 100 employees would all fight it.

Russia, China and every other authoritarian shithole has made them illegal

Can't say anything about China, but why do you think vpn's are illegal in Russia? Sure, the big vpn companies inside the country might be influenced by the government to limit your access to some banned websites. However, you can freely use a vpn if you wish.

Again, I remind you that you could always set up your own vpn server for personal use.

Only "government approved" VPNs are "legal" in Russia. Guaranteed that none of them bypass country censorship.
