However, the defensive measures also meant that Germany was completely blocked until 2:00 a.m. this morning. Nothing worked without a VPN. For people without a VPN, this was a complete disaster.
Which is not entirely true, because i connect from there too and i had only problems for maybe half an hour tops, let it be one hour even. Never had to use an VPN either. And even then, there are enough VPNs with fullspeed 10GB trial periods every months like Windscribe. You will have plenty of time until these 10gb run out if you just route the client traffic through it.
Also to call what they did/or what it caused a disaster, just you happened to under the people being affected by these partial disconnects is outright disingenious.
