With all that Brexit stuff going on, you most likely never assumed that you are going to have to search for how to unblock Porn in the UK in 2019. This is also a post you most likely will never share with anyone and that you most likely are searching for in “incognito” mode if on Google Chrome.
From the summer of 2019, Porn in the UK is banned to those under 18. It was meant to happen way earlier, but due to the serious issues with the proposal, it got delayed a few times. Until now, hence you are here searching for how to unblock porn in the UK in 2019.
In theory, you could just provide your passport or card to verify that you are over 18+, but we are going to share why that is not a great idea and then provide you a better alternative because this porn block is in many cases an issue rather than a benefit.
This whole porn block comes from the notion that porn is harmful and that people underage shouldn’t access it.
We aren’t going to get into the whole debate of whether young people should watch porn or not, but all sex-related problems ultimately go down to the lack of proper open discussion around sex as part of education. Everyone in society gets vulnerable when these topics are mentioned and thus avoid it. That creates problems in the first place.
The main issue of the porn block isn’t however that teens can’t access porn. It’s that adults need to give away their data to access porn if they want to unblock porn in the UK with the standard method. And that’s very problematic from a privacy point of view. When you verify yourself on a porn site, you are ultimately giving away who you are, and that can be linked with what you do on a porn site.
Big sites leak data. Porn sites or the 3rd-parties verifying your identity will leak data too. And that will result in your porn habits or just the fact that you watch porn being leaked. And that can ruin careers, relationships, and even friendships. Even though many others also do it too.
And even if your data is not leaked, some of the most popular porn sites share an owner with one system of verification being made for all of them with MindGeek being an example of that. Data? Data is the most powerful resource of the digital age.
And that’s why it’s important not to unblock Porn in the UK using the standard methods.
Due to how easy it is to unblock porn in the UK, the system overall is going to be incredibly ineffective.
The porn site needs to think that you are not in the UK.
That’s it.
And for that, you just need to use a VPN.
A VPN lets you change your location without moving.
We wrote many posts about how to make Hulu work in the UK or how to unblock DAZN in the UK in the past and those required specific servers that work with these platforms. Meanwhile, when it comes to porn, all it takes is connecting to any server outside of the UK that doesn’t have a ban on porn, and that’s it.
Just turn on PrivateVPN and connect to any non-UK server.
The UK really didn’t think this through. The porn block is going to be extremely ineffective.
Many people will also find a VPN useful because it will let them unblock services that they want to access whether that’s Spanish Netflix in the UK, American Netflix in the UK, DAZN, or Hulu.
However, it’s not that every VPN service can unblock these. PrivateVPN can unblock the likes of Spanish and American Netflix unblocking the most Netflix content possible because it overall supports the most Netflix regions on the market. It’s also one of the few services that work with Hulu and DAZN and many more for that fact.
Lastly, if you care about your privacy which you probably do, that’s where a VPN can really help you by encrypting everything that you do online. It’s not going to prevent Facebook leaks from happening but will allow you to stay protected when using someone else's Wi-Fi because everything you are going to do will be encrypted.
