The UK government is on the warpath once more with the intention of restricting access to on-line pornography by under 18s. And, once again, they will fail. They don't understand technology and in any case they can only restrict material published from the UK or hosted in the UK. And they clearly haven't heard of VPNs. For a good academic comment on the new legislation it's well worth reading this article from The Conversation.

Well I hadn't heard of VPNs either but I have now. Thanks.

I have used Surfeasy as a VPN for a few years. Mainly for better security when using hotel network connections but also handy when content is restricted to certain countries - quite a few US TV stations restrict content to USA and also when you're abroad the BBC don't allow access to a lot of their content but the VPN allows you to just switch which country you appear to be from in a matter of seconds.
