Is there anything in the proposal to stop people from VPN'ing to a free country and access their porn from there?

no, like there's nothing preventing you from getting porn via USENET.

This has always been a "best effort" initiative that is unlikely to stop "dedicated" users.

I think they want to make age verification mandatory for subscribing to VPN services too.

VPN will maybe work for porn but, as they say, "Age verification plays a crucial role across various scenarios, including access to online services, purchases of age-restricted products and claiming age-related benefits."

No, but once VPNs have become the only escape hatch available, this will be used a justification to ban them.

Yes, the EU will implement DPI and VPN restrictions in the futrue.
