Q: I’m in SDak and a new age verify bill bans some sites and shows me located in TX, not sodak so how do I verify my age?
I am unable to find any sort of way to verify my age anywhere
A:
If you're in South Dakota and trying to access a site that requires age verification, but it shows you as being in Texas, this might be due to an issue with how the website is detecting your location. Some sites use your IP address to determine your location, and if your internet connection routes through another state, like Texas, it can cause confusion.
To address this, first, make sure your VPN is turned off if you're using one, as it can alter your perceived location. If you're not using a VPN, you can try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser to see if that corrects the location error.
If the issue persists, consider contacting the website's support team to explain the problem and ask for guidance on verifying your age from South Dakota. They may provide an alternative method or further assistance in ensuring you can access the site properly.
