At the dawn of the new year, Pornhub will leave Florida. Thanks to a harsh new age verification law that takes effect on January 1, the porn giant will no longer do business in the sunshine state. The law mirrors similar laws passed in other Republican led states where Pornhub has stopped doing business.

Pornhub should come out with their own vpn service as a fuck you to the gop. Because while they may not “service” certain states, I’d bet those citizens still use pornhub and other sites.

Just curious, but how would that be enforced?

I honestly don't know enough about it but I'm sure there's a way, maybe get isp's to flag traffic going to known vpn servers and fine them if they connect users or something like that?

Why, is it impossible or difficult to enforce?

Not sure, that's why I asked out of curiosity. But I would assume so; it's very easy to get WireGuard setup on a Raspberry PI or just about any SBC. For example, you could setup a SBC with a usb WiFi adapter, travel to a state where VPNs aren't banned, connect to public WiFi and with a little additional config (changing ports), you're good to go.

It's good to be a VPN service these days. I bet business is up.

They can probably include it with PH Premium.
