    Political theater. “Won’t somebody think of the children?” is an easy win for politicians.

        Yeah the point is just to soften the populace to the idea. Our fucking PM covered for pedophile priests in a Catholic school 30 years ago, he doesn’t give any fuck about kids.

        If you are paying for a VPN and you have buffering problems, change to another VPN, that one is shit.

        Video over Tor is pretty awful, simply due to the way Tor works; Bandwidth is inherently limited, because it’s shared by everyone using the network. Same reason you should avoid torrenting over Tor.

        But if your video is buffering over a VPN, you need to find a new VPN provider. Mine maxes out my gigabit connection.

          Are there going to be bandwidth problems with vpns when more countries block porn though?

          Like lots of France just joined them, and the rest of us lost a bunch of French exit nodes (at least for porn). The increase in subscribers should help expand bandwidth at big servers, but there’sa limit when we’re talking whole nations.

        My VPN’s perfectly fine. To be fair, it’s not a free plan of a VPN that’s heavily throttled, but I can even play multiplayer FPS games with only a few milliseconds of additional delay, and my overall max upload and download speed is almost exactly identical to when I have my VPN off.

        Why use Tor? It’s been compromised for years now. Just use I2P. You can torrent with that too.
