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.

Yeah, cost of an extra $120 a year to try and get more media out of a legit and already expensive monthly subscription is the point where I’d just scrap it all for a cheaper VPN for pirating. Point of paying for Netflix or Hulu for me would be to not have to do that stuff.

That has not been my experience.
There are websites for that, which get used all the time. Basketball, football (NFL & college), MMA, hockey, football (soccer), motor sports, baseball, boxing, etc., along with Firefox & uBlock Origin. Never had a problem, unless it’s been a lessor known boxing or MMA match by a smaller promotion.
If you are using such a service, please make sure that you are not acting as an exit node for them by running their app. You will hopefully find the info in their terms of service. I don’t know the services you are using or speaking of directly, but some residential proxies in the past simply redirected users’ traffic through other users’ internet connection without making it clear. This is a big concern for some users that might be a) accused of piracy themselves or b) a middleman to much more nefarious or objectionable traffic.
yup that’s why I mentioned only using the VPN config file and not running any programs from them. there’s a reason they have so many clean residential IPs to stream from and it’s not because they pay people 10/20$/mo
surfahark and nordvpn and almost all free browser extension vpns do this. always read the terms of service!
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.
Just helping spread information to those that may want to watch new episodes and movies in a different language or that are inaccessible in their region (and use a converter box to record and reupload them, if they’re angelic and technologically inclined)
it’s not exactly widely known that these services are available unless you’re terminally online, have infosec interest, or buy and sell new and limited edition sneakers with bots.
