The age verification system that the state came up with requires you to enter personal identification information, like a drivers license number. I don’t trust the porn sites with that info - in fact, porn hub doesn’t want that responsibility and has actually blocked IP addresses from Utah. So, actually, it looks like they can.

First, VPN’s cost money.
Second, this isn’t about access to pornography. This is just testing the waters. They want absolute control over what people do on the internet.
“The new age-verification rules for pornography arrive on the heels of another bill passed this year requiring a government-issued ID to open a social media account.”

You can use a bunch of free ones available or roll your own. Many of the big cloud providers will let you host at least one VM for free. Spin up say an Ubuntu VM and setup a VPN with that. There are many tutorials out there to help or you could reach out to the Linux community. You will find them to be rather eager to help you with Linux stuff.
Talking about under 2 hours of work and you will get a skill for life.
If you look at the rest of my comments with the other person, it’s not even about the cost of the VPN’s. Yes, I’m aware there are some free ones.

Me personally? No. The ones who want to use their guns to fight tyranny are the ones who back these kinds of laws.

See where your goalposts were to where they are now?
“They can’t do that!” - yes they can
“Well it’s not a big deal, just use a different source!” - it’s actually a bigger problem than just this one industry
“Why don’t you shoot the politicians!” - I don’t personally feel like that’s the answer.
“Check mate!” - ok, one last reply then I’ll stop feeding the troll.
Normal people have passwords like “workpassword#1” and don’t know what an IP address is.
My mother in law still uses America Online.

Yah, I had to laugh when you said that. Normal and VPN do not equate generally.
Utah needs to be smacked down about this.
Carry on.
