So my beautiful country is doing this. Gotta love that freedom. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Side note, Anyone use a good VPN they'd recommend for the UK?

Re: The UK will block online porn from April. Here's what we know
Usually, these blocking regulations are implemented by blocking DNS-Resolution via the DNS-Servers of the ISPs. If that is the case, then you can circumvent it by using some other DNS Server from outside the UK. It does not have to be any special server, maybe even the DNS-Servers from Google or similar networks will do.
Implementing filtering on the network level is much more complicated and expensive, so it is rather unlikely. It's however possible, China probably does it...

Of the VPN's that I have tried. cyberghost has the best free VPN out there. Tunnelbear also works, but has some data restrictions that i wasn't too big of a fan of. Those are the two that stand out in my head, tough luck on the law.

Proxy sites are the answer
The Pirate Bay has been blocked on many ISP's accross Europe.
Search in google
"Piratebay proxy"
You will find proxy sites that allow access to prate bay for free.
And lots and lots of porn torrents
These proxy sites are hosted in countries where The Pirate Bay has not been blocked.
Pornhub proxy gives

This is what happens when you keep voting for the three main parties. They're all in favour of a nanny state, people moan for a few weeks and then vote them back in. This legislation will be forever now.

Re: The UK will block online porn from April. Here's what we know
That's the symptom of a voting system which heavily weighs the odds in their favor and makes other votes largely useless, and naturally the big parties have no incentive to change that :) First past the post needs to be banished.favouriteworstnightmare wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2018 11:03 pm This is what happens when you keep voting for the three main parties.

Opera web browser has its own free VPN built into it. (You have to enable it in the settings.)
As well as many other features such as adblock / whatsapp /facebook messenger all built into it.

Re: The UK will block online porn from April. Here's what we know
there is more than enough proxies and in my experience they change faster than the blockers can keep up.
Ideally a paid for VPN is the best way, but proxies are free, and I think safer than than a lot of free VPN's

Re: The UK will block online porn from April. Here's what we know
In general a paid VPN isnt a bad choice if you live in EU/UK.
A general note for free services: Always ask yourself how they pay their services. Servers and Bandwith isnt cheap, they have to pay it from something.
Before spending money when you can't really afford it, you can always try to change your DNS to one that does not support censoring.
The easiest to remember from bigger companies are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (Both Google) or 9.9.9.9 (Quad9, pretty new).
If anyone needs a recommendation for a paid VPN:
https://www.perfect-privacy.com
It costs 13€/Month and gets cheaper if you pay for a few months in advance.
It also has a few nice features like a nice and simple Windows Client, good tutorials how to set up and use everything properly and Ad-Blocking on their servers, so you don't have to do it on your computer (or smartphone).
Also hide.me was pretty okay, or ipredator.se
Ipredator didnt had good tutorials when I used them in the past, but maybe this changed.

Re: The UK will block online porn from April. Here's what we know
A good VPN isn't a bad choice at all. I use torguard and very happy with it.
A small detail to be aware of on this particular topic though: In this case, it is not a matter of blocking anything. It doesn't make sense to compare this to DNS-based blocking of services deemed illegal - as we have seen plenty examples of with TPB and similar.
In this case it is a matter of mandatory age verification mechanisms for porn sites.
While I can sympathize with the goal here, the technical and practical ignorance behind suggestions such as this one simply boggles the mind.
First of all, who will have the "tiny" job of maintaining a list of what is a porn site and not? This alone is an impossible task and something that will cost a LOT of tax payers' money. "google.com" clearly needs to be at the very top of that list lol.
Secondly, even if you were to successfully maintain such a list, there are a multitude of easy ways to circumvent it.
Third, most of the services we are talking about here are not located in the UK and do not answer to UK law. When a UK citizen visits a US website (as an example), this is more akin to that person traveling to a foreign country and enjoying local services there. Services that clearly are not subject to the laws of whatever country that visitor happen to come from. We have one simple word that sums this up: Sovereignty.

Yes, I most certainly CAN do it again!

The UK government has confirmed that a controversial compulsory age verification check for online porn visitors will no longer be introduced in April as planned.
