    I don‘t see how home office got anything to do with it. It looks like they want to precisely ban certain end consumer VPNs. So unless your office forces you to use NordVPN to connect to their servers they shouldn‘t be affected.

    That being said I also don‘t see how they want to enforce it without essentially building a firewall around their tiny country. It sounds like a ridiculous idea.

      Home office is affected because customer private data can’t be sent over unsecured public networks and it’s rather difficult to work many jobs without that, so a VPN link between home office and HQ is needed and most businesses buy that in.

          Care to explain how some of those wouldn’t have been hit? Some businesses do indeed use NordVPN. We may have thoughts on that but they do.

        @mjr by “home office” you mean “working from home”? Because that has a distictly different meaning in many, if not most, English speaking countries.

          Yes. Working from home, or home offices. Not the Home Office, which is what British often uses instead of Interior Ministry, but usually with “the” and capitals.
