    Which is weird since I often don't hear much spoken dialogue in most porn films other than fake moans and and orgasms. Also my focus tends to be elsewhere...

      I think the oscillation described people's activity time. Over the course of a day, people who would register for a VPN are much more likely to do so during the evening, because during the day they are busy with work. So you observer on a daily basis a peak like this.

      Such charts are very common with services used daily. For example, social media usage in a given region often has a peak during the morning, a big peak during lunch time, and in general goes up after work time.

      Of course not everyone works at the same time, but a majority of people have more or less the same work times, so we observe the peaks.

      The only real interesting part is that there seems to be no major change in usage over the weekend.

        Video over Tor is pretty awful, simply due to the way Tor works; Bandwidth is inherently limited, because it’s shared by everyone using the network. Same reason you should avoid torrenting over Tor.

        But if your video is buffering over a VPN, you need to find a new VPN provider. Mine maxes out my gigabit connection.

        Are there going to be bandwidth problems with vpns when more countries block porn though?

        Like lots of France just joined them, and the rest of us lost a bunch of French exit nodes (at least for porn). The increase in subscribers should help expand bandwidth at big servers, but there’sa limit when we’re talking whole nations.

            That’s not the sole purpose of it. The way it does it was what was important. And that method is flawed.

            People using to to circumvent location based restrictions may not care about the anonymity feature of Tor. They just want pron. At least until the fascists start arresting viewers.

                Sexual desire is one thing. Pornography is another. Porn is evil.

                    I'm shocked that this many people feel the need to disobey a rule that is only there to help the children. Next step must be to ban VPNs altogether, and enforcing all Internet users to be identified with their real identity (/s obviously).

                    Fun fact: they already tried. In the same law where they tried to ban E2EE a few months ago. It went about as well as you'd expect.

                              "tres bien" is "very good"

                              "si vous plait" is like "please"

                              "plus fort" is like "more strength"

                              I've never studied or learned French, but you can pick up some of this stuff from "throwaway" French in other context and the etymology shared with other languages.

                              So, basically just the stock U.S. porn phrase translated to French.

                                I'd argue that "plus fort" would mean "harder" in this context but I'm not an expert

                                    What do you mean “setting it up?” You just install it, and click connect (or chose a country with one of their servers) easily.

                                    Unless they do research, they will have to buy one of the advertised VPNs.

                                    Both require time and energy.

                                      It really isn't that slow, last time I tried to homebrew a working DNS tunnel it maxed my 100mbps card. I never needed the extra speed so I didn't try to see how fast it could be on a 1gbps card
