And yes, that includes visiting sites with &amp;quot;adult material&amp;quot; without running into any blocks.&lt;p&gt;I do have a VPN, so it&amp;#x27;d take me as long to bypass as it takes me to press one button in my browser address bar, but I only need &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; to evade IP region&amp;#x2F;country blocks - never needed it to get around UK filtering.</text></comment>
