    However, it wasn’t long ago that Peter Hummelgaard, the Minister of Justice, said “we must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone’s civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services.” This very anti-privacy statement is quite alarming and consistent with the idea of banning VPNs. Hopefully that’s the end of it, but I know I’d be very conscious of my privacy if I lived in Denmark right now.

    Given that VPNs are also used as a secure gateway for remote employees to access resources on a corporate LAN, along with site-to-site bridging for entire remote offices…

    Yeah, banning VPNs is a good way to kill a lot of extremely valuable IT infrastructure.

      Wasn’t it only talking about banning the VPN services that allow a proxy internet access?
      Now are they banning the technology altogether?

      If that’s the case, then what will they ban next? Fire?

    Yes, give the seppos full access to everything the Danes do. It will increase their security immensely.

      You know, you don’t have to put all the issues and questions in one box. You can oppose the Greenland bullcrap and also oppose the ban of VPNs.
