Pornhub returns to Australia after banning access due to age verification rules
5 days ago by Orwi to c/australia
IDK why anyone would need a VPN for porn. Just use a porn site that doesn't ask for ID; there is an endless amount of them.
A porn ID law was passed last year where I live, and the only thing that changed with my viewing habits is the websites I get the content from.
As per OP, PornHub was blocking all anonymous access from Australian IP addresses in order to protect themselves of liability. They also halted any new memberships from Australia.
I reckon their NZ customer base grew exponentially after they did that.
Now that they have removed those restrictions, the New Zealand customer base will return to normal levels.
IDK why anyone would need a VPN for porn.
Yes you do: Because what sites you visit is no one's business, not the ISP, not your local country's government.
Your “Just don't visit that site” response is not a solution.
It's wild that porn needs age verification but 4 chan is alive and well in Australia.
They did ban 8chan because of the blokes over the ditch but thats life you know
日本ではブロックされていません
Why would Japan start putting any more restrictions on things now? I don't think the LDP has been talking about it in recent elections or anything
My point, which was not well received, is that VPNs exist, and a VPN to Japan will get the job done. Mine is free, just setup a free oracle cloud VM, and tailscale to Japan.
We don't have to jump through their hoops, we have other options.

VPN providers will be disappointed.
