Prominent backbench MP Sarah Champion launched a campaign against VPNs previously, saying: “My new clause 54 would require the Secretary of State to publish, within six months of the Bill’s passage, a report on the effect of VPN use on Ofcom’s ability to enforce the requirements under clause 112.

"If VPNs cause significant issues, the Government must identify those issues and find solutions, rather than avoiding difficult problems.” And the Labour Party said there were “gaps” in the bill that needed to be amended.

    Man in the middle can be part of it. It’s just basically recording and sending stuff back. Generally I use WireGuard, but on unhygienic networks, were OpenVPN is warning about possible replay attacks, WireGuard doesn’t work as well. Could be something else of course, but I’ve got one end. It’s not constant or always.

      Oh replay attacks, that makes a bit more sense. Honestly I’ve never been on such a poor network to run into that. I don’t know your situation, but I’d be doing anything I could to get away from that ISP if they’re actively manipulating your traffic

        Ah, I see it. Sorry. Corrected.

        It’s not really an issue with OpenVPN as it seams to cope. It’s the only time I use OpenVPN instead of WireGuard.
