I used to use gaytorrents. They have the content and forums and it’s a nice little community. However, it’s suspicious they aren’t trying to prepare for the censorship hitting all other adult sites. They flat out stated in the forums they will not adopt i2p or tor or any other darknet and will start using age verification/start banning IP ranges when requested. If we don’t like it, we are told to just use a VPN.

This is an incredibly dumb response.

So I need to plan my migration away while there is still enough open conversation to discover new places. My state already bans porn unless we hand over our IDs to be handled irresponsibly/given to identity thieves/added to a list of undesirable people they want to toss into a gas chamber.

Under this regime, I’m not giving that out. Fuck them.

So where can I go now?

No offense, but why aren't you already using a VPN? If your state is especially repressive, that's even more reason unless it's already outlawed.

A VPN doesn’t solve the problem. I would be paying for a stall at best, and one that has no way of knowing for sure they don’t keep logs or aren’t compromised. Look at what happened with Ovano back when Facebook bought them then lied about it.

Some VPNs have a long record of doing their best not to collect any data and have audits from reputable cybersecurity companies. Examples are Mullvad VPN, IVPN , ProtonVPN , AirVPN.
