I'm looking for some help with using a VPN, especially since I want to access some adult content that isn't readily available in the UK anymore. I have very little tech knowledge, so I need a guiding hand on this. I've been using Twitter to enjoy all sorts of spicy content, but now that's restricted. I've heard that VPNs can help with this, but I don't know where to start. Could someone explain what a VPN is, how to download and use one, and whether I can use it on my iPhone? Step-by-step instructions would be super helpful!

You'll definitely need a VPN for this, and changing your Twitter account's country settings could also help you access the content. Most popular VPNs have apps that are easy to use on mobile devices. Just choose one and follow their setup instructions!
A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, creates a secure and encrypted connection between your device and a server. This means when you connect to a server in another country – let's say Japan – it looks like you're browsing from there. There are a lot of free VPNs available, but keep in mind that sometimes with free options, you might be traded as a service. I suggest doing some research and finding a reliable paid option that also has an app for iOS. It’ll be worth it for your privacy.
Getting started with a VPN is fairly easy! You just need to download a VPN app from your app store. I recommend using Windscribe or Proton, both of which are free and work well for accessing adult content. Once you download the app, all you have to do is open it and turn it on. That's pretty much it!
Thanks! I was worried it might be more complicated than that!
Yeah, and many of the more reputable ones will provide you with advanced settings, like a WireGuard config file to set up on your router directly!
