Context: UK passed this online safety act thing a few days ago (source) where you have to verify your age on sites that might contain nsfw content and the checks involve stuff like uploading a photo of your face, ID or even your passport. if anything it’s just making people more unsafe (look what happened with the Tea app which required similar verification (source)). ain’t gonna dox myself to the government/companies and it’s easily circumvented using TOR lol. fuck da system🤘
Is it possible to choose an exit node? Because if the exit node’s in UK, it presumably doesn’t help with the geoblocking aspect.
yes! theres a “new identity” button that effectively does this
idk i’m not too well versed with this type of stuff but I’ve tried accessing sites that’ve geoblocked the uk and have access! you just have to be sure the ip isn’t from the UK, if it is, clicking “new identity” sorts it out usually
It could be possible if they decide to implement that, since the TOR browser tells you the circuit (The path your connection takes) it could theoretically just request a new circuit until it gets an exit node that matches your preference. At least with the most basic implementation that’s what could be done, not very optimized though.
