Similar to the DNS resolver cases, the legal paperwork cites Article 333-10 of the French Sports Code.
So the legal base for this bullshit is and can only be applied for illegal sports streaming within france. Sucks for the impacted parties but I don't see this having any broader repercussions
- I could see it turning into potentially more via EU and the excuse that VPN should be nuked from orbit... Too many politicians of the mind to backdoor everything like e2e already; this is just another thorn of many.
  Hopefully you are right and this is isolated.
  
  Businesses and institutions need VPNs to function. Getting rid of them would be an absolute disaster.
