It's just a shame anyway i've messed around with Tor and i think it's in a position to bypass the block when it comes. I've tested websites blocked in the UK/EU because of GDPR that i can now get on with no trouble.

For most blocked sites, you can just change your dns servers. I'd recommend Cloudflare's server, "the fastest, privacy-first consumer DNS service," according to their blog. The ip is: 1.1.1.1, so pretty easy to remember as well.

Although changing your dns doesn't encrypt your traffic, so ISPs can still see what you're connecting to, I believe it's also how most of them log what sites you visit, if you're privacy conscious.

It might help for the AgeID thing but that'll probably be based on your ip address, thus needing Tor or a VPN.

As for free VPNs, https://www.privacytools.io/ lists ProtonVPN (https://protonvpn.com/) and Hideme (https://hide.me/en/) as free, if you want to try them.
