More than likely they are talking about banning public VPN services sold by
companies vs VPN functionality that you would use with your own networks and
software like you're describing here. While they're both technically utilizing
virtual private networking, they are practically/effectively doing different
things. VPN services allow you to bypass network rules and restrictions, while
personally set up VPNs allow you to actually access private networks like the
name implies.
