Context: UK passed this online safety act thing a few days ago (source) where you have to verify your age on sites that might contain nsfw content and the checks involve stuff like uploading a photo of your face, ID or even your passport. if anything it's just making people more unsafe (look what happened with the Tea app which required similar verification (source)). ain't gonna dox myself to the government/companies and it's easily circumvented using TOR lol. fuck da system

There is also VPN, but I hear they are trying to outlaw that in the UK too.

Yea I know. if they ban VPN's and block access to the TOR download website I've got TOR saved on USB's and I'll send a copy to anyone who wants it lmao

Is it possible to choose an exit node? Because if the exit node's in UK, it presumably doesn't help with the geoblocking aspect.

idk i'm not too well versed with this type of stuff but I've tried accessing sites that've geoblocked the uk and have access! you just have to be sure the ip isn't from the UK, if it is, clicking "new identity" sorts it out usually

Tor is loud and every ISP sees encrypted traffic that screams "I dunno, but it's tor traffic."
It's no free pass when the government is pressuring ISPs to tattle on encrypted traffic.
Be careful y'all. Don't be calm, but be Fing careful, too.

I can't remember the term/name anymore, but wasn't there a way to mask TOR traffic as standard HTTPS?

Done!
Is there a guide or reputable YouTube video that provides instructions/links?

It would be great to have a restriction stronger than "are you 18 years or older?" so I can let my kids roam the internet without care. But this is a bit backwards.
