There are known IP ranges for some VPN services. Plus even if they don’t have that, they can see that all your traffic is going to one IP address and can guess/assume it’s a VPN.
That works from the ISP end, but this legislation makes websites themselves accountable. Even if it was about ISPs, as you said they can’t see what you’re doing to stop it and there’s too many use cases for VPNs to just block the protocols outright.
So how do they plan on figuring out if any given user behind a VPN is in Utah?
Well while your isp can’t see what you do when you use a vpn. They can see you use a vpn.
So there is that. However you could use an isp that is not in utah
How? Deep package inspection?
