I would be interested of the reason because we've been fighting this successfully for a number of years with our clients IT departments (while we were smaller). They hired us to make the developement process better and one of the things we always found problematic was that when the software developers didn't have normal internet access (but instead tunneled everything through some bottleneck http proxy) they both los…
There are IT shops with large dev teams that don't put proxies between their users and the Internet, but in every one of them that I'm aware of, developer laptops are subject to intrusive continuous monitoring. And, even at firms where there are no proxies, VPNs are problematic. The reason is that large firms are legally obligated to make sure that insiders aren't exfiltrating protected or confidential information.

I don't really understand how a country can ask a website to comply with its laws if the content is not hosted in that country. I guess it could be asked to comply under threat of being blocked in response to non-compliance. It's such a weird area.
If you change ‘website’ to ‘business’ and ‘hosted’ to ‘headquartered’ it’s straightforward and just as accurate.

It is, but in practice it doesn't matter too much. In most (all?) jurisdictions in the US, bars can be fined pretty heavily or even lose their liquor license if they're caught serving people illegally, or if they even have people on the premises without their ID with them. Any extra revenue they might generate from letting in underage people isn't worth the risk of the consequences if caught.
Lol. You've never been to a college town I take it? It's a gigantic conflict of interest that plays out exactly how you'd expect. I've never been carded going to a bar near my former university.

I live in a town with 3 colleges in SC and regularly see breweries card people. I've never been carded, but anyone with a young face is an automatic.
Breweries and bars might be different too

I see a lot of technologies being talked about that I've not heard of - what's the difference between WireGuard and StrongSwan - do they fulfil different purposes? Or did Algo use StrongSwan and now uses Wireguard?!
strongSwan is a mainstream IPSEC implementation. OpenVPN is its own protocol, using TLS as a control channel. WireGuard is also its own protocol, based on Noise. strongSwan has cryptography designed in the 1990s. OpenVPN relies on TLS, which for all intents and purposes is also 15-20 years old. WireGuard is modern, with a design that comes from Signal Protocol's cryptographer. strongSwan and OpenVPN have gigantic C c…
Thanks for the clarifications, by the way.
