What's out options if they do ban VPNs? (lemmy.ca)

With a lot of talk from governments around the world trying to either ban or restrict VPNs, I'm curious to know what are our options if they follow through? I know we can use the Tor network, but is there other options? I assume we could self-host our VPN since I don't think it would be affected by a possible ban. Is there a less tech-savvy option I'm not aware of? I'm just trying to understand all of my options just in case a ban does happen.

Not really any less tech savvy than Tor, but I2P is also a thing

Also worth noting that traffic obfuscation would become much more important, as a crackdown on VPNs would likely also be accompanied by a crackdown on privacy-oriented tools
