That’s a very expensive alternative compared to a VPN

  It’s actually free, unless you live in some weird country that doesn’t have libraries.

    Most of the stuff I’m interested in isn’t going to appear in print in libraries unfortunately

        Conference proceedings. When I was at a computational linguistics conference back in ~2004, I was appalled when another attendee checking out from the hotel left his printed conference proceedings there, saying the electronic form (CD then, web pages now) was good enough and a lot easier to carry around. I thought about that as I carried the printed proceedings (large conference, so large proceedings) back on the flight home. He was right, I was wrong. And I haven't seen printed conference proceedings for some years now.
