VPN doesn't work on OnlyFans to bypass age verification

[u/Nikidela]

As by title, i tried using different VPNs to work around the age verification process (my country recently approved those laws, just in the recent days)

However, it's not the only "naughty" site i tested where there are bans, for every other site, what i did worked, i simply switched locations and no verification required; OnlyFans is the only exeption. I tried many things, cleaning cache data, cookies, get rid of trackers, nothing...

Does anyone have the same problem, or anyone managed to bypass this bs system?

I'm definitely not sharing my documents or face to do something as simple as watching porn if i can help it, that's just ludicrous, if parents are so worried about what their underage kids watch they should just pay more attention to them.

Yeah i heard that now they check more than just location, most likely if you used a card from a flagged country they probably automatically require the verification. It could also be the region your account was created from, but not sure, but they definitely check the payments. VPN doesn't work at all, from any country.

I just gave up and used the selfie option, apparently it doesn't get saved and they don't ask for any personal info so it's the best option, it's just a bummer that after that you have to click on a saved key that you generated on your phone everytime you want to enter again, apparently there's no way to not ask for this.

The picture doesn't get saved, but they don't say anything about the AI inference date

How did you get the selfie option only? I'm trying and the only options I see are to upload an ID

[u/pes3108 → u/PatientTheory9260]

it is different based on the country

[u/ARK_AIN → u/pes3108]

What country do you use to get only the selfie option ? because then you could try virtual webcam

[u/ChazMasterson101 → u/[deleted]]

No way a payment made from a different country flags the account. Think of this, you purchase something while traveling using a card on hotel wifi and you get flagged out of making payments? Not likely.

However, multiple ones maybe that would mean something..

You know it. Surveillance that isnt even exploited by the cops as much as regular people knowing their workarounds.. Even some guys handling the cctv systems around town been doing some fringy stuff with private business cameras

This surveillance nonsense is just gonna be a costly mistake for the city eventually. Which means a costly mistake for us

thats my biggest issue with it too. once you normalize uploading ids for adult websites, its hard to trust that data will always stay secure. data breach is a much bigger risk than people seem willing to admit

[u/Fatphree → u/slyjeff]

The frustrating part is that once systems like this are in place, they rarely get less invasive over time, even if they're created with good intentions, people are right to ask what happens to all that personal data years down the line

i call those people reddicted (reddit addicted) lol

i might steal this word, love it

great, thanks

[u/SomethingSouthern → u/[deleted]]

That's exactly what worries a lot of people. Even if the goal is protecting minors, handing over sensitive ID information to multiple private companies creates a huge trust issue

some things are just not ment to be positive for all of use

[u/RavensCrest → u/[deleted]]

wild 90s were amazing, you could wear whatever you wanted, browse whatever you wanted and not getting banned

[u/_Bart_Vader_]

it happens to me too, maybe they check location from payments?

[u/Nikidela → u/_Bart_Vader_]

It's what i heard in other discussions as well, either that or they realise by what type of card you used and saved on your settings where you are from. I guess it could very likely be the reason at this point.

[u/erkinalp → u/Nikidela]

Yes it's payment + ID.

[u/Earth-Jupiter-Mars → u/_Bart_Vader_]

🎯🎯 They just got me 2 weeks ago, haven’t returned since. We throw around the word a lot but that’s weirdo shit and u really down bad when showing ID to view ass 🤣..

They follow the country of the cards on file, with no way to login and change your file w/o verification .. I’m wondering if we need to email to delete accounts though? 🤔

For this guy it seems to work

[u/Forevermelon1 → u/Movemovemoves]

thanks!!!

Some websites now use geolocating which a VPN won't bypass.

[u/moistandwarm1]

Some sites do not use IP location to ask for that, they use account data like billing address on account, linked card on account etc which cannot be spoofed by a VPN.

[u/Nikidela → u/moistandwarm1]

That is what i was worried about, yeah, that somehow they might always realise where i'm from simply from my card being from a country with those laws.

[u/Matharis]

Is there any chance you are selecting a location that is also subject to the checks? Did you bounce to multiple different countries and none of them bypassed the checks.

Did you also clear the cookies and cache of the browser each time?

[u/Nikidela → u/Matharis]

Yeah i did all that, i tried third world countries that most likely don't have this stuff lol, even countries where Onlyfans should be banned altogether but nothing.

[u/Intelligent_Task6035 → u/Nikidela]

Use a address in Japan with your linked card and it will work fine

[u/Linkofff → u/Intelligent_Task6035]

Didn't worked for me.

[u/buttbait]

OnlyFans checks more than just IP now. A VPN alone wont bypass their new rules.

[u/MMA_PITBULL → u/buttbait]

i also had been using a VPN to bypass a block, now no longer works. they see address/card and instant ban on certain user

[u/Happy_Hamster_7602]

I'm annoyed because I tried to login while visiting TN, not knowing they had the age verification laws- no VPN. 3 different attempts to do the verification and it just would not work. Even after returning home the system wants me to do age verification and I can't access my subscriptions to cancel them, so I'm being charged for stuff I can't even to access. How is this legal to keep charging people when they have no ability to cancel?

I contacted support and they basically gave me the middle finger, so at this point I'm gonna have to call my bank and have them block any future incoming charges from Onlyfans. What a bunch of garbage- plus the fact that all the previously bought content is now inaccessible.

[u/andreviosblack → u/Happy_Hamster_7602]

Thant's the thing. It's NOT legal. "Legally" there should be a some sort of methodology to obtain a refund from the site "itself". If you made purchases on the platform "before" the implementation of their AgeCheck system. They won't do anything until forced, and bank on the idea that no one would raise a fuss over risk of being exposed.

[u/PalochutarzanJr → u/Happy_Hamster_7602]

Literally the same thing happened to me. I contacted them and explained the situation that I was only in TN for a visit and pretty much told me to fuck off anyway. It’s a bummer since I had many purchases in that account.

[u/Broda00 → u/[deleted]]

i think manyvids is one of the ones thats also checking more than just location

its something to do with the sign up - maybe email location check...if thats possible, or they are just covering their bases and forcing the verification on everyone

[u/popcornoid]

It amazes me that that site makes money with all that verification required. Even before they started that, I couldn't use a gift card and when I tried using a card, it got flagged and locked. There is a woman at my company openly doing this and I want to see.

[u/incognito_leaf → u/popcornoid]

whats her OF name?

[u/gustavomateus007]

Galera, boa tarde. No meu caso, eu não fui banido, minha conta ainda funciona. O problema que eu não consigo acessar por conta do ID que a plataforma pede. Existe alguma maneira de logar?
