We just shipped a new feature in NextDNS: Bypass Age Verification.
More and more sites (especially adult ones) are now forcing users to upload IDs or selfies to continue. We think that’s a terrible idea: handing over government documents to random sites is a huge privacy risk.
This new setting workarounds those verification flows via DNS tricks. It’s available today to all users, including free accounts.
We’re curious how the HN community feels about this. Is it the right way to protect privacy online, or will it just provoke regulators to push harder?
