Is this just the Texas variant, or every one?

Pornhub is complying with the Louisiana law. In Louisiana, the state has digitized IDs that make veryifying your age online for this law very convenient.

In the other states, they are using this law to effectively outlaw pornography. For everyone. Especially the Texas law.

Got hit with this stupid thing in Montana this week. I had no idea the assholes in Helena had passed such a thing here.

I was running one. It should have looked like I am in Seattle.

IP leak test indicates my vpn is working.

I need to investigate further.

Remembered I had enabled split tunneling. Added my browser to the covered programs. Now the sites tell me "ACCESS DENIED!!! NO BOTS! NO VPN!" In big yellow text on a black screen. 😂

Until you've found a solution, I pray you've found other ways to release the pressure
