The technical approach is straightforward: the DNS resolver intercepts requests to target websites and routes traffic through proxy servers in countries where age verification is not required by law. This means that while users visit the same websites, the sites perceive the traffic as originating from a country without mandatory ID checks.
Seems clever to me, I guess we will see if there’s legal consequences for them.
How is this age verification being done? Is it by image, with an age estimation algorithm? In that case, can’t people just use AI-generated photos, or maybe have an AI do some kind of artificial aging on their real pictures?
I’ve seen people doing that already I think.
ehhhhh, if I understand it correctly, this method is effectively DNS poisoning but for a practical use. it wouldn’t be without compromise; the proxy provider would potentially be able to see the traffic unencrypted. not a big deal IF you trust the proxy provider I guess… but poking a hole in something that used to be encrypted sketches me out.
So it’s a free VPN?
