    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.
