Obviously not ideal for non-technical users, but I found it really easy to spin up a VPN on Digital Ocean.
I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to make it almost a turnkey operation, just run the script and you're good to go, and then it would be a viable option for non-technical people.
Of course, not ideal for anonymity, but a perfectly fine solution for if you want the security benefits of a VPN, or to get around geoblocking (I originally spun up my VPN to watch something that was geoblocked, now I keep it for when using open wifi connections).

- toomanybeersies 9y agoProbably. I was using it to watch Top Chef Last Chance Kitchen on BravoTV's website. I don't think they're so strict on it compared to Netflix. My main use for now it is for security, not for watching geoblocked things, so I'm not so worried about it.
