This is hilarious. Is PornHub still one of the largest Google Cloud customers?

#13> “VPNhub is free and unlimited, anonymous and easy to use, [...] a good number of [people] use [VPNs] to circumvent and bypass restrictions to access adult content. It only makes sense that they use Pornhub’s.” So wait, as a UK citizen I can use Pornhub's VPN to circumvent the UK Government's "Porn Filter", a system that's run by..... Pornhub.

I had no idea that PornHub is in charge of filtering adult content for the UK government. Got any more info about this relationship?

Huh? A porn site company runs a porn filter? Surely the individual ISP's have devices in their DC that filter the specified things?
Edit, so after reading - the filter is less a filter, and more mandated age-check verification? Isn't that like claiming a guy checking ID's at the door to a pub is an alcohol filter?

Wasn't the porn filter supposed to be enabled by default, but optional for adults? As in the adults could change whether or not they could see the porn, at will? I believe there was some bureaucracy involved and maybe a "porn tax" you had to pay to disable the filter, but maybe this VPN service effectively solves both of those problems.

Sure, for the low, low price of $12/month.

No, the Age Verification system (recently delayed[1]) is compulsory that porn sites must implement to be able to trade in the UK. It requires that they perform age verification on everyone accessing the site from the UK. This verification would be performed by supplying ID and linking it to your account.
This is separate from ISP supplied filters in that it applies to the porn companies themselves, not the end consumers. Obviously a company like Mind Geek having your ID and all your porn browsing history is not worrisome at all.

#18It might be a good time to mention that Algo VPN now supports Ubuntu 18.04, many new cloud providers, and soon (days) will have Wireguard support.

#19Earlier quoted context omitted.
Using a VPN for everything they have right to care though. All job-related traffic goes through it as well, hence potentially leaking sensitive stuff?
like connecting to the prod MySQL server?
good god I hope you haven't exposed SQL ports open on the internet. what kind of responsible admin/dev would do that?

#20Interesting, I totally understand that this is adult entertainment and that it carries it’s own implications. But I hope this isn’t the way of the future, direct tunneling to get through restrictions, snooping, and regulations.
