Hello ,
As the title says what happens if theUK requires age verification for VPN’s or makes it illegal to use them?
Does that mean everyone will move to tor or I2P?
It seems if the UK gov keep pushing their agenda under the guise of protecting children people will increasingly go dark .
I guess what I’m asking is how does everyone think this will unfold?

How though? Commercial VPNs that simply function as proxies, sure. VPN as in the protocols themselves? Not possible without breaking too much stuff.
Yes, they can block the protocols. The VPN protocols are pretty easily detected by DPI, and they might just not care about breaking things (like what I’ve seen). There are ways to obfuscate such traffic, though.
Sure but someone hosts these services . I can make a VPN right now and the service is paid by my debit card.
If you have a friend outside airstrip one you can tunnel through them. I could see some kind of tailscale like mesh vpn type deal being deployed for this purpose
