Requires the vpn provider to snitch and possible tag the ip frames or http frames lol

Folks would just host their own vpns various places and this would be pointless ….

It's all just an effort to control the 90%.

In the real world, very few people have that capability.

Detection can be based on the IPs themselves, no packet tricks required. Plenty of services can do that: https://focsec.com/

Now of course, if your VPN is a home-lab style VPN where you are connecting to a little wireguard box sitting in your own home, that is a totally different story.

You can do for free with tailscale exit nodes. Just have a friend in a different location host for you or buy some compute space somewhere
