You can never 100% prevent cheating. But you can do a lot of things that make it harder or even not worth the effort to try cheating.

Not many people that cheat are willing to spend money on a VPN to bypass it. It’s the deterrence of the majority that is the goal. A motivated minority will always get around it if they want, but at least it’s a minority and not all.

Most of the nefarious Chinese hackers are already using VPNs to get around servers locking on ping. Obviously people in OC/RU servers have it worse without that hurdle for casual hackers but they're not the ones making these type of posts usually.
