Supreme Court ruling could end Pornhub blackout across US South.

One VPN I use has servers in most us states.
Auto connected to a mandatory ID state and a porn site demanded I take a picture of my id.
(Edit: I have it set to auto connect to fastest on start. I can change location and have 100 free servers to chose in the US. More in Japan and Netherlands. ProtonVPN)
I set up ProtonVPN on my wifi as a separate SSID. I had to select a specific server, so I picked one that's relatively close (for better latency) and doesn't have the same restrictions my state has. It's easy to switch, I just need to go tweak the settings in my router.
If my kids ever need to submit ID for something (e.g. social media), I'll hook them up w/ the VPN to bypass our draconian laws. The government has no place on the internet, and I will circumvent their stupid policies. If I don't trust my kids on the internet, I'm not going to look to the government to protect them, I'll just take away their internet privileges.
Nooooooooooope
That's why you connect to Canada
If I need a Canada connection for free I might switch over to warp or tor.
tor: "ah yes, this 6.4MB image will take 3 hours to load. good thing I like edging..."
The true ‘90s dial-up experience: Watching your porn load one row of pixels at a time, only to find out it’s censored right as it gets to the good part.
Maybe I’ll just play a Flash game instead. Let me go make a sandwich while it loads.
Apparently you don't know that there are fast tor nodes and, gasp, speeds have improved over the 2 decades tor has been in existence.
People are stuck in 2014 thinking it is slower than molasses.
I've had this same argument before.
Pick a node. Run speed test. If too slow for your needs, pick another.
There are hundreds that are set up for high speed, high volume traffic.

20-80Mbps is plenty fast.
Does it not let you chose a different state?
It doesn't specify the state. Only us server #. I guess I could look it up, but I just change servers.
Sounds like a shit VPN to me. I can select a region (US East) or individual states with PIA and basically the same with Surfshark.
I can select one of 100 servers . I could check geoip. Or write a shell script to do that. Anyway...
It's also free.
It's also one of the best.
Proton.
I use the app. I could do all the wireguard fancy stuff, but I won't.
At least the desktop app of proton shows you the state or even city where the server is located. For Germany I can even choose between Frankfurt and Berlin for example. I know that for us servers I was able to specifically choose New York.
Edit: In the android app you can go to countries then tap the three dots next to united states and select a state to connect to.
The Linux app doesn't have that. Just server numbers (at least on the free tier)
"The south shall rise (ahem) again!"
I've been paying $30/year for like a decade now. Totally worth it.
