For porn (in most of the us), the goal is geolocation spoofing to avoid ID requirements, not anonymity.

That said, I doubt edge achieves even that, since they likely keep their servers in the states. I was more talking about VPNs broadly.

I use one for Usenet, but maybe I’m too cautious.

If you’re at home or whatever it offers effectively no benefits

Porn.

Also my ISP sniffs packets enough to send copyright complaints, so I’d rather outsource that exposure to a country with privacy laws.
