Whether to use them or not you should take your own legal advice, but afaik vpn's don't lead to bans. Some IP's may be blacklisted for historical abuse, but trying to connect with said IP wouldn't get you banned, and I assume it just wouldn't let you use the site/parts of the site until you changed to a non blacklisted one.

iirc somewhere i read that accessing e-hentai via a VPN could reslut in a ban for some reason (something like the vpn location/ connection was used before by someone else to ddos the site or mass DL stuff and is therefore being blocked/banned,. . . idk) is that true ?

Some particularly regressive autocratic governments like Russia take offense to their citizens using VPNs since it doesn't play into the whole "we control your lives including what you can see and who you can talk to" spiel, so depending on your location you might need to take extra care, but you don't get banned on our end for using them, and we obviously wouldn't report it to said governments.

thank you tenboro and Shank for clearing that up.

my country has no problems with vpn so far, i was just afraid to use one and get banned from here (i just recently managed to beat the dragons )

You mean assuming nothing else ends it before that happens? Depends on the actual laws. The UK and the EU approaches are very different, for one. The UK approach is a Swiss cheese that's also rotten to the core, and I have no intention of supporting it since it's fundamentally broken. The EU one actually seems to be somewhat thought-through, since it's based on single-use anonymous tokens, which means for one it's not pointless since you can't fake it with the photo mode in Death Stranding, but more importantly, it can't leak people's private information. So unless they try to moral-gate or charge for access to the token verification mechanism itself, I don't have any particular qualms with adding support for it.

But it's unlikely that every country would add such rules. Even in Europe, non-EU countries like Switzerland, Iceland and Norway wouldn't be a part of the EU laws in the first place, so unless they add them independently, there are still safe harbors.

Single-use anonymous tokens sounds like a least-bad option (and with any luck, the US would converge on this with the passage of KOSA - although I expect not due to PornHub already doing state-by-state range bans because they don't want to consent to an ID system that doesn't involve their own stock portfolio's motherboard-linked, less-than anonymous, persistent authentication), but I have to wonder what this does for H@H - the token may authenticate a browser session, but not necessarily a Java client session, which means either H@H has to bloat to accommodate the necessary GUI/session persistence for detecting an ID/signing a token, or it just stops working for enough users (those unable to, say, reserve port forwarding or static IPs through their VPNs) that the entire payout rate table gets rejiggered around South America becoming the most convenient IP range to host a client between the Global North's collectivist death blitz and East Asia's existing smattering of national firewalls.

Bad enough I'm dreading whispers of the parents wanting to take a year-long junket to Thailand, with their firewall holding through the last decade's worth of regime changes and me having to sunset a H@H client with an ID in the four digits for that whole age...

but I have to wonder what this does for H@H

Not really sure what you mean. H@H image URLs already use short-lived tokens, it doesn't need anything else.

For all the people asking for "secret" workarounds or to just ignore the law, Ofcom is [kiwifarms.st] actively checking for compliance and if you [kiwifarms.st] drop the block for even just a little bit they'll fucking call you on it. They are deathly serious about censoring the Internet.

this is crazy.
the petition will be ignored, btw. brit govt already replied with a lengthy "no" that just sounds like a huge "fuck you" overall

i am deeply worried for what will come for me as EU citizen.
i truly believed i'd never see the day i would have to use a vpn to access my fav. websites. . . (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

They are also apparently telling the Britters to put it in their tea and plonk it, the site is still accessible from UK IPs.

lol, what a complete joke, this is some russian chinese shit they're doing

Not China, no child protection excuse there.

I actually respect this site for not bowing down to the UK politicians and implementing a doxx mechanism.
It's bad enough they are flying and floating in millions of invaders to their land, betraying completely the people living there, but the men can't even cope in peace with harmless art now they gotta doxx themselves for it. Both Tories and Labour all really need to get Luigi'd.

what happened in ENG？

pardon, i don't get it (that luigi image)

Found free vpn called proton vpn, has a free tier which stays free, just doesn’t allow you to select which country

Thank you, did the job perfectly

Is that in regards to logging into e-?
