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.

        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.
