Pop quiz: name me one country who has never changed the laws in a way which

Now, back to the technological side, there are ways to block SIP and IAX
beyond just simple port blocking. And it's really easy to sniff traffic. So,
if you're doing something that the government expressly forbids, I would
think that a VPN would be a bare minimum for privacy/security.
