Actually, having just read the article they are not banning vpn at all. (Bad title)
They are mandating that sites that subjectively provide sexual content ban traffic that comes from a vpn.
Both corpo and private networks are fine.
I am not sure how enforceable this is. It might be limited to a “known list of vpn providers ip addresses” but how they ever know if you have a personal server running overseas?
Wikipedia bans from editing addresses from known VPNs.
