How do you "easy" VPN into the US in 1995? The whole consumer VPN industry didn't exist back then.
Yeah, I was never a consumer. Let's say tunneling/proxies then.
"download java" in 1993 wasn't a thing.
I remember the encryption export mostly from when Java came up; everything had saying that you cannot download specific packages outside the US. We did anyway. Before there were others but Java was biting us the most.
