I don’t even understand where this line of reasoning is going. Did you want a separate network blocked off from the world? A ban on VPNs? What are we supposed to believe could have been disallowed to make this happen?

There are a lot of lists around for known VPN endpoints and datacenter IP address ranges, that people use to reduce error rates in ip address to location lookups. That cannot possibly itself be 100% effective, but it can probably drop the error rate of semi-technical users switching their VPN location to circumvent your geo blocking by an order of magnitude or two. It certainly won't stop a sufficiently motivated technical of malicious user.
