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?

    Just wait until they mandate embedding some sort of hardcoded device identification into LoRa devices.

    I don’t think I2P can hold anything. It’s just anonymization through multiple hops, not a network within the network, no?

      I don’t know. I’ve not used I2P before but I heard it was a decentralised internet just on a smaller scale like a WAN

        Reading about it further, I was completely wrong about it. I2P is entirely self contained and exit proxies are not really a thing.

        Your concerns may be warranted.
