Get a VPS, they are actually cheaper than VPNs (if you only need one country location).
You will have one single IP and you won't share IP with hundreds of other people thus being flagged.
I have never been blocked from a site when using my VPS, including sites that otherwise block VPNs, I think they don't care for whatever reason.
Doesn't mean they can't know, they will, but they seem to not care?
Some websites might do.
Only way you can get a completely "native" experience is for someone to set up a VPN in a computer connected to a residential connection in the country you want appear in.

- alfalfasprout 5y agoThe problem is a VPS isn't anonymizing because your traffic isn't pooled with others. So if your goal is to bypass geoblocking, etc. then sure a VPS is a good choice. If improved anonymity is what you're after then a VPS isn't going to do that.
- folkhack 5y agoPopular VPS hosts like Digital Ocean, Linode, etc are all going to smack you down if you do anything remotely fishy on their networks. They have to have a pretty good idea of what's happening with their VPS systems, and I've seen them (DO/Linode) smack down everything from specific VPN connections to web scraping. If you're going to use a VPS for anything remotely sketch you probably don't want to go with a reputable provider - they're reputable for a reason.
- mhitza 5y ago> specific VPN connections to web scraping What strange ToS clause would those fall under? Skimmed the DO ToS and found nothing, while they also have a separate page promoting the deployment of your own VPN https://www.digitalocean.com/solutions/vpn/ https://www.digitalocean.com/solutions/vpn/
