I can't tell if this is a joke or not.

Don't pay "thousands" for GPDR compliance work which will improve your product by providing basic privacy and security features.

Instead pay up to $79 a month for a service to block a large percentage of your traffic.

The privacy of EU persons coming in from a non-EU IP address still need to be protected under GDPR. This solution is a start but it's not bulletproof.

Edit: I don't want anyone to think I believe it's a good start but it is a kind of solution. I wonder if lots of US companies, once they begin to realize GDPR is a problem for them, won't decide to try one of two things:

1. This: block access from IP addresses believed to belong in Europe.

2. Lobby Congress for a law (or a quick Executive Order) saying that US companies don't have to comply with GDPR.

A few weeks ago on Twitter [1], I speculated about #2. It was too early, I guess. Few people in USA seem to be aware of GDPR at the present time. That'll change in a couple of weeks.

I’m wondering the same, the submitter of the link is definitely having some fun with the title.

Yes. VPNs are definitely an issue.

The only foolproof solution is just to block all IP addresses.

Or take over Europe.
