What happens when someone is from a shit country?


As someone living in Vietnam, I have a number of websites off limits. The one in this thread for one https://www.cam.ac.uk/ is an interesting one that I'm forbidden to see.

VPN is a necessity. I spend some of my day turning it on to see sites blocking Vietnam, and then some of it turning it off because of sites that are blocking the VPN.


AFAIK you already have to use VPN if you are e.g. westerner visiting China or Belarus.


Other sites are blocking VPN's as well. It's a contineous hassle of turning VPN on and off.

It feels like you are a third class citizen.


good question ? I worry about that too since I'm from a poor/shit country that I travel to constantly & live for half the time !!
