Just a heads up since this doesn’t seem to be common knowledge. There are a lot of different services. You can search “residential proxies” or “clean ip address vpn” and similar. Not sure if I’m allowed to name the names of services, but the one I use (not affiliated, just been using it for a few months now) has a US VPN option for $10/mo BUT there’s a $20 setup fee. Similar prices for other countries I think. If you use some of the shadier services that use browser plugins and desktop apps to “loan out traffic” then you can probably get them a lot cheaper. Just don’t install anything from the shadier ones, use the VPN config files.

    Posting to a Piracy community, for people to pay roughly double the price of a normal VPN (like Mullvad), plus there is a setup fee? o_0

    I’ll stick with usenet and torrenting for recorded content, and a website (with Firefox & uBlock Origin) for live content.
