When talking about VPNs, it doesn't have to mean "third party VPN". You can host your own on any VPN service outside of Spain.

Yes, but that's not something many can do easily. Also already having to use a VPN is not the "right" solution. The right so solution is to beat some sense inside some politician's head, and force them to write and approve laws that don't let stupid (or conniving) judges pass orders like this one we are talking about.

    I agree it is not the right solution.

    But anyone who is pulling docker images in a sunday afternoon while the rest of the country is glued to their screen to watch a football game or enjoying a sunny sunday outside having beers and tapas and what not should be capable of setting up wireguard.

    Given the context of the HN audience, it's probably something you can do.

      I wasn't strictly speaking about HNers. Using NordVPN and the likes is already done by slightly savvier users. Just look at where those products are advertised.

      Spinning up and provision a VPS to act as a VPN exit node in some other country raises the bar 10x or more.
