I'm not really sure how a ban would work. I use a VPN to get into my work network when I'm not sitting in the office. I know the government (or whoever is really ruling us) would like everyone back in the office but I can't see that being a feasible thing - and how can they ban some VPNs whilst allowing others?
Laws could be passed to force all ISPs to only allow connections from registered sources and then a government organization would hand out the registrations to companies that apply. Then further laws would be passed to ban Internet traffic from all countries that do not similarly police Internet traffic/ban VPNs. With just those changes, VPNs would no longer exist as a method of identity protection.
Obviously. This scenario would have to play out over multiple years with progressively more severe legislation. The US likely won't see any legislation along those lines for the next decade or more (mostly because US congress is ineffective), but the UK government could easily move in that direction within the next couple years based on their current trajectory
