Buy those VPN shares, lol
Uk is even more puritanical than the US,
They’re already blocking states in the US.
That’s where the puritans came from.
They fled Britain and stayed in Holland a few years first.
Apparently according to the users here I2P is a good tool, so any good guides on I2P ?
Would appreciate it. Been meaning to learn about I2P for a long time.
They want to stop us from gooning This is how it starts Then they move onto full internet censorship
Yes, porn is basically the “canary of the coal mine” of the internet & please use “masturbation”, we are the sane ones here.
Why did your politicians become right-wing grifters? Genuine question.
Sometimes you can bait leftists into “taking the moral high ground”…
What vpn obfuscations do you use? Because you know they’ll block vpn next.
They fully can’t, there’s too many legitimate reasons that their corporate overlords use it for, the most you’ll get is loud filibuster about “we’ll totally do that!” until the topic gets forgotten.
Also, my personal conspiracy is that someone important in the gov owns some secret stocks and shares in a VPN company and this was very much a cash grab from that person.
You can probably block companies offering public VPN services.
But good luck blocking VPN in general.
It’s not some theoretical topic, it’s the reality for China, Russia, Iran. They do block commonly used VPN protocols, so people now use VPN with obfuscations. Some work, some doesn’t, some stop working as time goes. So when people say “Ha-ha, I’ll just use VPN”, it will help you for some time but the trend is they will make it a problem for you, better start preparing before it happened.
There several sites I visit I have to fight with cause of VPN blocking.
That isn’t blocking VPNs, it’s blocking requests from data centers. Important distinction
Anything encrypted is blocked. Boom, done.
Is it stupid? Yes. Never stopped lawmakers.
I knew HTTP would make a return without its brother TLS someday!
How do you know if something is encrypted?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subliminal_channel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography
Or for more practical implementations: https://blog.frost.kiwi/ssh-over-https-tunneling/ (granted, this one uses normal looking encryption to hide hide maybe unwanted encypted traffic) https://nurdletech.com/linux-notes/ssh/via-http.html
And UK bollocks grew 5 shades bluer that winter
They don’t need those wankers!
I’m actually a little concerned some of porn torrenting communities aren’t ready for the jump to i2p yet. Gaytorrents, for example, seems to think this all being blown out of proportion and couldn’t possibly effect them.
What specific knowledge you have
There are sages all around us. Sometimes tho … Asking for their wisdom comes with a curse.
Some random YouTube video? Weak.
Anyone who thinks a government can ban VPNs without destroying economy is deluded. Politicians who say they will don’t understand the internet, they’re old. Countless businesses use them every day.

Anyone who thinks government would never do something as utterly stupid as shooting itself repeatedly in the everything out of spite is deluded. Banning all form of encrypted traffic would be insane. Now tell me, how many insane things have we witnessed in the recent years from our collective governments?
Hmmm. China
What about China? There are VPN in China. They only try to block those that are used to act as if you are not from china.
Company VPN or university VPN are generally allowed.
Yeah so seen in the context of the OP it would be enough
True. That is probably what the UK will settle on too.
Politicians who say they will don’t understand the internet, they’re old
And that’s exactly why they will try. Keep in mind their will still be VPN’s. You just won’t be able to access it. It will only be for governments and the elite.
Looks like it were gonna go back to private VPNs with 10/20 people putting in each month to pay someone in a unrestricted area to run them a VPN.
Keep it small, make it look like enterprise kinda shit.

I remember when you didn’t have to have a VPN to enjoy the internet.
Coz thats the only place porn exists
Policy makers so naive
Have the porn companies released numbers on how affected their traffic has been with an these new rules? I could see them not wanting to they’re getting hurt but would be interesting to see
Are they partnered up with VPN companies by any chance?
Sexuality is a human right, and controlling sexuality is an authoritarian tactic to manufacture compliance.
“Age verification” is not just a tool for elimination of Internet privacy, it’s also a tool for sexual control.
Someone has been reading 1984… I’m not disagreeing with you, just saying ‘hi fellow doom reader’.
Bro, we are living 1984.
2026 - 1984 = 42
