this is DNS so the capabilities are only changing the backend IP to another one *with a valid TLS cert*

or actually nvm, another way this could work is a *transparent* TLS proxy so it's basically VPN-lite

that is probably it. it gives you a fake IP for the server, that exits to the real server from a "good" location

No, you lost it again 😂

Verification services are mostly contracted external services.

NextDNS simply blocks the verification site and returns a "I've passed my age verification test" back to the target site.

This is why it only works when sites sub-contract their age verification service, which tbf, most do.

Yep, that’s it.

Similar to Pi-hole DNS, but with a bit more intelligence.
