If only someone could invent a VPN. One of these days...
VPNs will be declared terrorists' tools within the month.
There's no chance of that happening.
Why? Because working from home? They don't want people to do that either. Or they'll have some sort of "you need to apply for a VPN license" law which achieves the same thing.
No. It'll be "No VPN usage for residential use. Corporate is fine." Then they have an excuse to sick the SS on you.

Every company has a VPN. The IT personnel need a way to remotely access in case of emergency.
There are network architectures that do not uitlize a VPN. Zero trust, for example, should not use a VPN
Well, I mean if you want to go down the 1984 route (I hope not), a VPN license is a great tool for achieving such things.
I'll give you an example, I have an amateur radio license in the UK. Part of the terms are that I must allow anyone authorised by Ofcom (the radio telecommunications agency over here) access to inspect my equipment and setup.. Now ideally it would be in a building other than my house. But for most people, it would probably be in their house. So you need to let them in.
VPN License? Well probably it would have the same terms. "Excuse me sir, we have detected the use of VPN traffic at these premises. We are warranted to enter the premises for the purpose of ensuring this traffic is related to the primary business as noted on your VPN license, please step aside from your computing devices"
Alright, it won't happen in reality. But, a lot of countries really have wanted to crack down on the use of encryption for some time now.
The FBI has previously claimed Apple was helping terrorists by not unlocking iPhones. It’s not completely outside the realm of possibility, especially with the new psycho Trump nominated.
Love the optimism. Let's revisit after the inauguration.
