Apple iOS now requires age verification to access websites it deems 18+. Not even using another browser like Firefox works, it’s blocked at the OS level.
I was putting off switching to Graphene or e/os until prices improve, but looks like my hand is forced.
Edit: VPN doesn’t even work because Apple knows your GPS location. I haven’t tried location spoofing yet because that’s a bit more annoying to setup.
That’s… crazy. Though, they do this with discord too on iOS.
Is it possible to circumvent it with VPN?
VPN with custom DNS didn’t work. Firefox didn’t work either. It was an OS level A.I. block or something.
GPS spoofing might work, but I can’t be bothered trying right now
Also a little bit annoying to setup but, what about an ssh tunnel using a SOCKS proxy? Although, I don’t know if it’s possible to do it on iOS, I’ve done it on macOS to bypass my university’s blocked websites
How about a different web browser?
gemini:// and gopher:// browsers work I suppose… but they’re not really typical web browsers haha. I tried a bunch but they are all blocked. Brave, Vivaldi, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, DDG. Nothing would let it through. Firefox said an interesting error message though.
On ios there are no “diferente browsers”. They are safari in a trenchcoat, because apple doesn’t allow other browser engines.
