There are probably a million other things you would much rather prefer to do than to search for “how to bypass the UK porn block.” There’s also a million other things the UK government should take care of instead, and aren’t, but here we are writing this guide about how to bypass the UK porn block.
The UK wants you to verify your age to bypass the UK porn block.
As in, you need to provide your passport on a porn site.
Who’s creating the verification system? Not the government. 3rd parties. With one of the systems belonging to the same group that owns some of the most popular porn sites out there.
The first problem with that is that whenever you give data away, there’s a possibility of leaks. The only way to prevent data leaks is if data isn’t stored. PrivateVPN does that as a VPN when you browse and message by encrypting everything you are sending and receiving on the internet while not storing logs, but when you just give away your passport to a site, there’s a risk that sooner or later that data will be leaked.
But it’s one thing for your phone number to leak and another for the data around what you do on porn sites linked directly to you, to leak. That will ruin careers because leaks happen. Just recently, First American Corporation leaked 885 million real estate documents. The issue since has been fixed, but it shows how easy it is for data to be leaked.
The UK porn block is meant to protect younger people, but instead, it’s going to encourage younger people to watch porn and make it a privacy concern for adults.
The UK porn block is also giving power to porn sites because the UK is letting porn sites verify users using their systems of choice. In the past, porn sites had limited power when it came to data. MindGeek is one of the verification tools designed by porn sites for porn sites. It will open up doors to data collection. Never before has a porn site been able to match your gender and age with your porn habits. Now they can.
The method we are going to suggest will avoid any kind of verification.
And it’s extremely simple to a point that it just doesn’t make sense how the UK went ahead with this porn block.
All you need to do to fool a porn site is to connect to a VPN, with the server you connect to being outside of the UK. No other country without censorship has such a ban. That’s why it’s so easy to bypass it.
The two major reasons people use VPN services are for privacy and for entertainment.
You live in the UK and want to watch DAZN or Hulu in the UK? There’s a lot of great entertainment platforms out there that don’t work in the UK that can work with a VPN.
Whether you want to access BBC iPlayer when abroad or want to watch live sports with DAZN, with a VPN you can change your location to be outside of the country that you are in. Of course, it’s not that every VPN service just works with every service out there. It’s easy to bypass the UK porn block because no other countries have a porn block, but when it comes to entertainment, the likes of Hulu need to make an effort to prevent VPN services from working in order not to get in trouble for showing content in countries they don’t have rights to show that content in.
PrivateVPN is one of the services that focus on quality rather than quality and therefore is able to unblock every major service that you would like to access, with many guides around those services on our blog.
And then there’s the privacy aspect of VPN services. A VPN service lets you bypass the UK porn block with ease, but it also allows for safe torrenting, privacy when using public Wi-Fi, and protection from the government, internet provider, and bill payers of your Wi-Fi at home. And this is where PrivateVPN’s location comes into play. Certain VPN companies store logs which can be used to expose you. We don’t do that. Both because we don’t want to, but also because of Swedish privacy laws that prevent us from doing so. And that allows for the strongest level of protection.
And of course, VPN services also allow you to bypass the UK porn block.
Ready to give it a shot or are you okay bypassing the UK porn block by giving away your data?
