Auto connected to a mandatory ID state and a porn site demanded I take a picture of my id.

That’s why you connect to Canada

If I need a Canada connection for free I might switch over to warp or tor.

The true ‘90s experience: Watching your .jpg porn load one row of pixels at a time, only to find out it’s censored right as it gets to the good part.

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.

Does it not let you chose a different state?
masterofn001@lemmy.ca 5 days ago
It doesn’t specify the state. Only us server #. I guess I could look it up, but I just changed server.

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.
masterofn001@lemmy.ca 5 days ago
I can select one of 100 servers . I could check geoip.
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.

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.
