VPNs do not solve this problem at scale, but darknets do.

The problem is that Crunchbits hosts a site A, so all Hurricane Electric needs to do is throttle all encrypted traffic or just refuse to do business. The architecture of the Internet is flawed, because political reasons block traffic. A better designed Internet would not have any ability to "block" anything.

The internet was supposed to be "smart devices - dumb network". Well, the network got smart and now we have this.
