Spotify wants me to have a card from said county. I read that you can use PayPal, but they want a phone number from that country.

Any advice?

    VPS running wireguard server with hardened kernel and fail2ban and an optional GeoIP blocker/full-fledged WAF. SELinux is optional.

    Connect both your mobile/portable device and a segment of your home network to the same interface if you’re using Wireguard, but there are ways to do it with SSL VPNs too, I’m sure. You can now stream all of your media, self-hosted, no restrictions other than outgoing bandwidth costs on the VPS.

    It’ll take a weekend but this is not too hard TBH. Use IaC for even faster deployments.

      I’m not sure why people think this is a realistic option for most anyone. No way anyone with no experience doing any of that is setting it up in a weekend.
