Everyone will have to learn from Chinese how to get through internet firewalls. They have accumulated 20 years of experience in this :)
cheap 1USD VPN (via open source Hiddify on Android/Win) was all I needed last summer, I bought as backup more expensive 4-5$, both worked same

the problem is what to do when they implement this at OS level or most countries with VPN IP addresses

Open operating systems on PC should not be a problem for a long time. Mobile operating systems, even Chinese Android phones (with many modifications, such as "anti-fraud system" which is actually a monitoring & backdoors, with no BL unlock), have not disabled VPN functions either.

As long as this is still a globalized world, there should be no need to worry.

Nothing Proton VPN can't solve
