It may just be a magnificent coincidence that the recent interest in Virtual Private Networks (VPN) is due to a sudden fear of online security in the UK and users worried their browsing history will lead to targeted advertising but more than likely it has coincided with the Online Safety Act kicking in and porn sites now requesting proof of age for UK users.
