I'm wondering how the govt is going to know who to fine. Maybe they will work it like China, and have a Great Firewall of Brazil that allows only govt approved VPN companies that cooperate with govt polices. China also allows VPNs for tourists that are not censored, but are monitored (e.g. to detect any Chinese nationals using them).
I suggest people start using mesh VPNs like cjdns and yggdrasil (and pinecone, I think) that have no central presence. The central presence is actually essential for products like "ExpressVPN" that attempt to hide your IP from servers - it works because lots of customers are using the same small set of IPs.
Mesh VPNs do not effectively hide your clearnet IP. For that you need Tor - would you get fined for using a Tor node? With mesh VPN, the Brazil govt would need to monitor foreign networks to find nodes connecting to an ExpressVPN type product, and then trace back the activity to a possibly Brazillian IP. Sounds daunting, but unfortunately doable with cooperation between today's globalist govts.
