>By default, WireGuard stores your IP address on a VPN server until it reboots
For most people this is no issue, in countries like China, Iran, Russia and a few others, it can be an issue. see:

UK Government and Parliament - Do not ban children from using virtual private networks
We call upon the UK Government to reject any calls or lobbying that propose to restrict or ban the use of virtual private networks ("VPNs") for children, because of the impact this would have on other VPN users.
More details
An amendment agreed by the House of Lords proposes an addition to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill: "Action to prohibit the provision of VPN services to children in the United Kingdom". The method and implementation would likely rely on 3rd-party facial scans or ID checks, which we believe are invasive. Thus, such a law would cause massive collateral damage for the millions of current users who rely on VPNs for privacy and security.
Regardless of your citizenship or residency, boosts, quote boosts, and shares will be very much appreciated 🫶

Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think “lol yeah well that’s not going to stop *me* from using a VPN”
A VPN ban isn’t really meant stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use the fact you’re using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any “hard work” (i.e. an investigator’s job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime.
Don’t think you won’t be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK.
And the same goes for Chat Control and encrypted messengers, btw

Constantijn ☮All VPNs stopped working now, I managed to find one for a smartphone but I need one much more for my ancient 12 years old laptop on windows 8.1, but all vpn clients I found requires win 10 minimum. Is there any client that will work with 8.1? Openvpn used to work fine until this morning but not anymore. Also I'm from Russia, yeah 🤕 I'll be grateful for any helpful tips, but I'm no tech/it fella at all
