For VAR to work with (the usual) offsides, I think they will just draw a line across the pitch along the part of the defender's body that is closest to his own goal, and if any part of the attacker's body (apart from arms) is beyond that line, even if it just an inch of his boot or knee or nose, it will be offside.
I think it would be the easiest and most consistent way of doing it, but it certainly doesn't give the benefit of the doubt to attackers. There would be no more benefit of the doubt.
