It likely overrides DNS resolution to CDN/POPs in countries which don't require age checking, or routes the traffic through TCP proxies so your traffic appears to come from a different country without these laws. This will increase the latency of all traffic to that site though. | ||

> It likely overrides DNS resolution to CDN/POPs in countries which don't require age checking, I don't understand what this means: 1. It resolves DNS requests - got it. 2. The resolution sends back an address to a CDN - okay, not sure that I got it 3. The resolved address is in a country which doesn't require age checking - Totally don't get it: how will this help? | ||

A DNS provider can not route your traffic through TCP proxies, so it must be the former. | ||

I tried out NextDNS and this feature doesn't seem to work anyway. Enabling "Bypass Age Verification" has no effect. I tested it out on PornHub and XVideos. I also can't find anything different in the returned A/AAAA records compared to my standard resolver. | ||
