None of the IP's on Mullvad seem to work, however they're only rangebanned, so it asks you to buy a pass. I haven't tried that yet, but obviously it would entirely defeat the purpose, I think. I mean, I use a VPN anyway so I've considered buying the pass, but I don't know.
And the pedo stuff is bordering on ridiculous these days, I agree. Unless there really has been an uptick in "child trafficking" over the last few decades, I see no reason for people's hysteria over it. Oh well, to each their own
