Needless to say, this is a complex challenge, but here's a solution we've come up with.
For now, the only way to check a user's age is with the help of a centralized/federated authority. We need to send a request for a particular user, and they tell us if the user is an adult or not.
We do not think this is a viable solution, as, by default, a centralized way of checking age is not privacy friendly. Either your identity will be linked to our site, either an entity will know that you have accessed our site, or even both.

We recommend you to follow Cloudflare’s tutorial on how to setup their DNS filter:
