Downloads of VPN apps in Australia have surged after one of the world’s largest pornography websites began blocking users in the country in protest against new age-verification laws.
Aylo, which operates several explicit websites including Pornhub, RedTube, YouPorn and Tube8, has imposed restrictions on access for Australian users.
Following the move, downloads of virtual private network (VPN) applications have risen sharply, as some users attempt to bypass the restrictions and access the blocked sites.
