Hello ,

As the title says what happens if theUK requires age verification for VPN’s or makes it illegal to use them?

Does that mean everyone will move to tor or I2P?

It seems if the UK gov keep pushing their agenda under the guise of protecting children people will increasingly go dark .

I guess what I’m asking is how does everyone think this will unfold?

    They can’t force ISPs to block all of the VPN protocols in general

    They very much can, I’ve seen it happen last year. The main protocols are VERY easily recognizable by DPI. However, there are obfuscation methods that can get through even Chinese Firewall, and they’re constantly improving.

        I meant that the DPI can easily detect the fact that the connection is indeed Wireguard or OpenVPN.
