  Valid. There’s no practical way of implementing a blanket ban on VPN. Hell, I’ve set up a VPN tunnel to the UK that I use for work. I wish them the best of luck, while I grab my popcorn.

  If a ban were to be implemented, there would be no way of enforcing it.

  Not that much of a fix. It’s mostly down to pedantry on my back half.

  /dev/random is blocking unless sufficient entropy is available.
  /dev/urandom is non-blocking and will supply output anyway.

  So for security-critical stuff that might run in a low entropy state (such as during the NG boot), you probably want to use /dev/random. But in 99% of the cases /dev/urandom is fine, and it won’t halt your program.
