Sucks so hard that it's the only porn site in the world and that there is absolutely no other way to get your hands in porn, now. Oh boy oh boy, what are they going to do now to get off? I lean, priests there have their choir boys but the common Joe on the block?
The point is that the individual states are requiring government issued photo ids to view pornography, and pornhub is instead blocking the states rather than giving up people's right for privacy.
They want them to breed.
They think blocking porn sites one by one is going to stop guys from getting access to porn. Haven't they heard of bit torrent? tor? proxies and vpns? What are they going to do about foreign sites and sites that have mixed content like reddit?
Ridiculous law.
Speaking of which, can anyone please tell me why XHamster now requires a Virgina ID to visit the website, even though I live nowhere near that shithole?
Such laws now exist in Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.
So basically only the worst states in the country have this law. Color me surprised.
Tennessee as well.
Are you using iCloud Relay or a similar service? Your IP is set to or is being routed through Virginia.
No but I use a 3rd party DNS, which might have something to do with it, now that you mention it.
DNS translates a domain name "example.com" to an ip address pointing to the server. It tells your browser how to reach the server. It is unlikely the reason.
the common way to detect your location is by checking your ip address. Usually there is a database (i.e. maxmind) that keeps a record of which ip address subnet belongs to which location.
you can do a check with a reverse ip geolocation lookup tool to verify this.
so either:
Might be their ISP. I know mine routes my stuff through some datacenter somewhere else in my country if I use ipv4 (probably because they don't have enough ipv4 addresses for everyone). Which I do, because their IPv6 protocol shits the bed if I actually use the bandwidth I'm paying for 🙄
Does this mean there will be less mainstream interest with step porn?
Fucking finally.
Agreed, I prefer to coom to women who aren't in any way related.
Indiana isn’t the south, but might as well be. Oh well, at least I have a vpn. (Queue pornhub intro)
Chicagon here. Indiana is 100% the south.
Of all porn sites, porn hub sucks the hardest, and i don't mean the right kind of sucking. There are way better sites for that
These days on pornhub, search for a category and you get 200 clips that have nothing to do with said search terms, but which apparently get them a lot of money
What are the good alternatives? Usually all porn sites I've came across suck. Their Interface looks like shit and the content is mid at best.
xvideos, maybe xnxx. then theres the stuff like sheer and clips4sale. if all else fails. bing.
Yandex can be a good search engine for this. From the search engines you can often find surprising ones with lots of full length videos like https://www.freevideos.xxx/
One VPN I use has servers in most us states.
Auto connected to a mandatory ID state and a porn site demanded I take a picture of my id.
(Edit: I have it set to auto connect to fastest on start. I can change location and have 100 free servers to chose in the US. More in Japan and Netherlands. ProtonVPN)
I set up ProtonVPN on my wifi as a separate SSID. I had to select a specific server, so I picked one that's relatively close (for better latency) and doesn't have the same restrictions my state has. It's easy to switch, I just need to go tweak the settings in my router.
If my kids ever need to submit ID for something (e.g. social media), I'll hook them up w/ the VPN to bypass our draconian laws. The government has no place on the internet, and I will circumvent their stupid policies. If I don't trust my kids on the internet, I'm not going to look to the government to protect them, I'll just take away their internet privileges.
I've been paying $30/year for like a decade now. Totally worth it.
If you do not yet know how to use a VPN, you will learn in fast order.
This will be the next malware/info leak.
It basically already is because you know most people are just going to lookup a free VPN who has every motive to obtain as much information as possible about the user and sell it.
I saw something like this happen (major social media gor blocked). Can confirm that those sketchy free VPNs are now on seemingly every phone and it is worrying as hell :/ At least some people use charity censorship evasion projects instead.
Yeah, all the people will flock to free VPNs. They’ll google “how to get around blocked porn” and the free VPNs will be at the top of the list. And the issue with free VPNs is that if you’re not the customer, you’re the product being sold.
Though it would be a great way to catch a bunch of conservative politicians cranking it to gay porn. Because if they’re using those free VPNs, (because they’re all +70 years old and have no idea how to actually stay safe online,) then their data can be bought.
My friend wants to know the best vpn provider with the lowest price.
Proton or Mullvad are the two go-tos.
Private Internet Access used to be trusted (and still has good service, fwiw) but they were bought out by a company that was caught stuffing adware into their programs… So people have been hesitant to actually recommend them in the wake of that.
mullvad
If you don't torrent.
They pussied out and removed port forwarding mid last year to have more "legitimacy."
Given their other privacy features, I'm okay with it. It's easy to get another VPN for a month and do all the torrenting you need.
dont even need the port forwarding to torrent just get a client that supports network tunnelling.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
