You see, the problem is that all exit points of our VPNs are in Europe. These too can be banned quite easily. Where to will we run next, given that this cancer tends to spread?

Change the protocols, I guess? Move to some kind of self-hosted or community-run infrastructure? Because to block all of that (EDIT: to block that reliably, I mean), you will have to block the entire EU network sector, and we're likely not in "V for Vendetta" or full-blown 1984 scenario for this to be possible.
Let me tell you how it has been in Russia during last 15 years. WE saw targeted blocks that apply after cease and desist letters. Later they learned to block outgoing OpenVPN and wireguard for everybody except firms who applied to a special registry. Then they learned to cut Vless and Trojan and blocked all sites behind freaking Cloudflare due to ECH v3.0 enforced. Here also go proxies (specifically for Telegram'm MTProto) and other stuff like Quic.
The point is if they start — they can proceed way further than you can imagine now.
Literally, tor.
Which will get blocked and go down, like, in no time. That's literally what happened in Russia - Tor is mostly unusable, you can't even bootstrap properly without some "tricks", so to speak.
One solution is that United States radically supports free speech and provides Starlink access to Europeans as a humanitarian act.
It would be similar to Radio Free Europe which was broadcast to the former Soviet States.

Sounds like some kind of utopia to me, given the current circumstances /s
Run to the Kremlin, with torches in your hands.
Yeah right, that worked out for Iranians quite well all these times.
Isn't putin begging y'all to get in tanks for Ukraine? Just find a like minded group of recruits and turn the tanks around
