The story VPN headlines are missing.

The media is buzzing about a surge in VPN downloads since the Online Safety Act took effect.

But here’s what’s being overlooked: millions of people are choosing privacy-first age verification instead.

Over 6 million people rely on OneID® to verify their age in a safe and completely anonymous way. It proves that when verification is fast, secure, and doesn’t store personal data, people will choose it over the riskier free VPNs.

It’s time to focus on the solutions that protect your privacy and the young.

Evading age checks using VPNs might seem like the easy thing to do. But it's actually setting you up for greater harm than anything else. Here's the truth

08/08/2025

OneID® is the smarter, safer way to prove your age online — all in just a few taps.

With the now in force across the UK, many platforms require proof of age before granting access. Traditional methods—like document scans, selfies, or credit card checks—are slow, intrusive, and compromise your privacy.

That’s where OneID® comes in:

Fast & frictionless — Verify you’re 18+ in under 3 seconds using your mobile number or bank—no IDs, no selfies, no payment data.

Privacy-first by design — OneID® only confirms you are over 18, not your date of birth or other personal details. It doesn’t store sensitive info or track you.

Built for compliance & trust — Fully aligned with Ofcom’s “Highly Effective Age Assurance” standards under the OSA. It’s UK Government-certified and FCA-regulated.

Widely adopted — Since the OSA deadline on 25 July 2025, OneID® has conducted over 6 million age checks—at peak handling up to 140 verifications per second with over 1 million checks per day.

** Why this matters for you:**

✅Seamless experience — No extra steps or annoying uploads—just tap, confirm via your mobile phone number or banking app, and you’re good to go.

✅Greater protection — Your privacy stays intact thanks to limited data sharing and no document retention.

✅Trusted & secure — Powered by open banking and mobile network operator data, with robust fraud prevention built-in.

In a world where safety shouldn’t cost your peace of mind, OneID® delivers both. Whether you're accessing age-restricted content, shopping, or simply ensuring a smooth verification journey—this is identity done right for real people.

In our latest white paper we argue that the imperative to strengthen digital identity verification to a bank-grade level is a key deterrent against the risks that ‘bad AI’ is generating. It also explains how to secure the digital economy, reducing businesses’ increasing losses to fraud.
