This is correct.There are no restrictions and there are no plans to outlaw vpns in the UK. However it is a criminal offence to use one to bypass online safety restrictions I.e. giving access to a minor for illegal use.
In addition, it is, at best, a grey area as to whether an adult using a VPN to bypass the age verification process is also a criminal offence. The lawyer with whom I spoke a while back said to me that using a a VPN to bypass the age verification would be against the law. I am not going to take any risk and I certainly do not wish to break the law.
