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?
M
With a payment method from outside the UK? Or crypto where most companies have KYC ?
Go to mullvad.net and make an account. It’s a 16-digit number, and you’re never asked for personal information. There’s no credit on it, but you can pay with a card, crypto if you do that sort of thing, or by sending some banknotes in the post to the company along with the account number to top up.
Yeah but who controls the on ramps for crypto, KYC is everywhere
Don’t use crypto then.
You can pay for Mullvad in cash by just posting it to them.
If you use Monero, it can’t be traced back to original KYC sources
I don’t think this is a good idea still. First - the very fact that you bought crypto can be suspicious. Second - then your anonymity depends on the assumption that Monero wouldn’t have flaws found in it later, which is just not a good approach with any technology, no matter how well-regarded. And third, most mundane - introduces yet another place from where your ID can leak.
Fair points. If only acquiring it were as simple as buying a can of beans.
Sure but you can wash it befre you send it to your VPN, so the connection bwtween your purchase and your expenditure becomes lost.
Mullvad has zero kyc
dkyc fucking rocks
