Texans scramble for VPNs after adult sites go dark: Here are some great ones
Searches for VPNs have spiked in Texas after the popular adult website PornHub went dark following the state's new age verification law ruling. We might have some suggestions.
With or without porn, any VPN is a good idea for those who prefer privacy.
An unpaid plug: I use Mozilla's VPN. It's about $60 p/year, installs with two clicks, and it simply works.
Mozilla VPN is just a rebranded Mullvad (they are one of the best in the industry, just wanted to mention it). Funny enough, Mullvad costs 5 EUR/month regardless of subscription duration and user location, while Mozilla goes all-in with different price tiers and location based subscriptions.
Personally I use Astrill (at a whooping $150 a year) since they are the only ones that consistently work here in China.
If port forwarding is important to you, I'd recommend Proton VPN.
Some, such as express VPN, also feature an ad blocker. Express also specialises in avoiding detection when using streaming services in other countries, and allows about eight simultaneous connections so you can share your login with family and friends.
I like proton myself, been using it since before VPNs and privacy were cool.
Why do I get the feeling that the Texas AG will:
-
Use a VPN to access PornHub then file a suit against them for continuing to violate TX law.
-
Start going after VPN providers for aiding and abetting breaking TX law.
-
Some need to start a new VPN company and name it How To Watch Porn VPN. It will be at the top of all the search results.
It's not like VPNs are a limited commodity
I'm glad to see windscribe on this list. One of the best performing VPNs for Canadians.
It's seems like they're having fun too: https://blog.windscribe.com/bsvpn-press-release/
I'm going to check them out.
Yeah they are relentless with their silly stuff.
I trust ivpn, then mullard. For privacy. Ivpn can be paid with cash or monero and can be completely anonymous.
