Best VPN for Indiana, Idaho, and Kansas: Pornhub Workarounds

On June 28, people in Indiana, Idaho and Kansas will wake up to find that they can no longer access Pornhub’s adult website. Due to newly passed age verification laws intended to prevent minors from viewing adult content, Pornhub will begin blocking access to users in these states in protest.

This follows a trend that has seen more than half a dozen states lose access to the wildly popular NSFW site. A similar ban took place in March this year, when access was blocked for Texas residents.

This is certainly inconvenient for age-appropriate residents of these states who wish to access this site (which, it must be said, is protected under the First Amendment to the Constitution). Fortunately, there is a simple solution: use a VPN. Just download and install your preferred VPN, connect to the server in an unblocked state, and enjoy the content.

Below you’ll find my top VPN picks for accessing Pornhub if you’re in states where Pornhub has blocked access. For even more great services, check out our overall list of the best VPNs.

ExpressVPN – best overall

ExpressVPN is my top VPN choice, regardless of intended use. It comes packed with great features, including multi-device support, ad and tracker blocking, and tons of domestic and international servers.

It’s also fast, which means you don’t have to reduce video quality to a level that makes it look like important parts are intentionally blurred. ExpressVPN even supports almost every device you can imagine, so not only will you be able to access Pornhub, but you’ll also be able to view content on any device.

NordVPN – second place

NordVPN is second only to ExpressVPN, losing out only because of its slightly more complicated interface and more expensive long-term price. Don’t let this detract from how great this service is.

It’s consistently the fastest VPN I’ve ever tested, so you can stream in HD to your heart’s content. Plus, it has even more built-in security features than ExpressVPN.

Mullvad – the best for privacy

Depending on what you want from a VPN, Mullvad may actually be your best option. Not only is it in the top five of our services for overall speed, but more importantly, it earns top marks for privacy.

Mullvad strives to know as little as possible about its users. It doesn’t require you to enter your email address or name, and it even accepts cash payments by mail if you want. Plus, it costs just $5 per month, regardless of the plan you choose.

ProtonVPN – the best free VPN

While I typically don’t recommend anyone use a free VPN due to proven security and privacy risks on some devices, ProtonVPN is one exception. This service from Swiss company Proton has an impeccable history of protecting user privacy. It’s also thankfully ad-free.

Like all free VPNs, there are limitations, but fortunately ProtonVPN allows you to limit them relatively moderately. At no cost, you will receive a connection limit on one device and access to five servers located in different countries around the world (including the USA). It doesn’t impose any speed or data caps on these free servers either – something that’s almost unheard of with other free VPNs.
