So parents, make sure you ask your kids to stop using VPNs. I'm sure that'll work because asking your kids not to view porn without one didn't.....

What a joke.
I don't think that the idea is to ask children to stop using a VPN, but to take proactive steps to stop them.

The Children's Commissioner said today that people accessing porn in the UK had severely reduced, but that the use of VPN's had severely increased. As a result she is to recommend to the Government that age verification is extended to VPN's.
