Speaking of which, can anyone please tell me why XHamster now requires a Virgina ID to visit the website, even though I live nowhere near that shithole?

Why does it have to be a Virginia ID specifically?
How the hell am I going to get a Virginia ID from out of state?
Why would anyone give a porn site their ID to begin with? That's a major invasion of privacy.

Are you using iCloud Relay or a similar service? Your IP is set to or is being routed through Virginia.

Might be their ISP. I know mine routes my stuff through some datacenter somewhere else in my country if I use ipv4 (probably because they don't have enough ipv4 addresses for everyone). Which I do, because their IPv6 protocol shits the bed if I actually use the bandwidth I'm paying for 🙄
