It's unfortunately no longer enough to force websites to check your government-issued ID before you can access certain content, because politicians have now discovered that people are using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to protect their privacy and bypass these invasive laws. Their solution? Entirely ban the use of VPNs.
Yes. You pirate anything?
Sure, but with a VPN. If my government wants to ban VPNs, I guess it’s pretty easy to see that 99,9% of my requests go to single IP that belongs to a VPN server
There are ways around that kind of stuff even for the most stringent of governments. Of course inherently there’s always a risk you asked me if I’m willing to take it and I said yes.
