We in the UK and partner and I keep to keep on this site. Have been looking at VPNs. Before I buy, does anyone have positive or negative feedback on NordVPN? it seems to get quite good reviews.

cheers!

I’ve heard NordVPN is very good. I use Surfshark which I find excellent. You can put it on numerous devices, which works out economically.

It's an interesting question. In theory, yes, because Rawtop will geoblock UK based IP address ranges. In practice? Not sure it's a big enough problem for anyone in such a position who needs to, to care about. After all the site admin has done what they can within the bounds of reason.

I am not a lawyer but given that TOR is legal to use in the UK the answer most likely is yes. TOR is free to use and a VPN. You can use the TOR browser and you should still be able to access the site (unless the exit point happen to be within the UK, or any other state blocking BZ).
In reality: seeing what the Trump administration is doing, I guess it is only a question of time until TOR is no longer safe to your. But then: people voted for Trump, and people voted for Brexit, and a few other bad things ....

The problem is that the site owner has a legal responsibility to verify that users from the UK (however they access a site) are over 18. How they get there, what mechanisms they use... usually makes no difference in the eyes of the law.

By geoblocking the UK by IP, it makes it possible for RT to state that he's done what he can.
