How can this work? What is "DNS tricks"? DNS is just telling you where the site is?

edit: ah it spoofs the EDNS subnet for the DNS request, so it gives you server "intended" for a different location. You will get slower connection but if it's poorly implemented and they have geofencing just on that layer, it will not do the age verification stuff.

It's interesting that it works, but... the website can still tell your IP through TCP handshake... it might fool some sites that have geofencing on DNS level.

Thanks for answering the one thing I wanted to know about this. It wasn't at all obvious to me how this might be possible using DNS only.

I guess it will work for some sites, but it would be interesting to know what fraction.
