The site tells BBC News it believes people are viewing riskier sites - but they may just be using VPNs.

    Yeah, surprised it’s only 77%.

    Just as an observation: Mullvad’s best UK -> US connection seems to be New York. The transatlantic fibre optic cables make landfall nearby, and there’s lots of big data companies there that host VPNs.

    Alternatively, a lot of more ‘special interest’ sites don’t have age verification on them yet.

    Big uptick in visitors from Sweden, Thailand and other countries that don’t block for unrelated reasons.

    In other, completely and fully unrelated news, VPN access to Pornhub has unexpectedly and completely out the blue risen.
