> This is almost always not true. If you read my statement, "they can give you a residential IP in the target country" - I never said this was universal. Some private VPN companies will offer you a residential IP or dedicated IP, sometimes for additional fee - I'm paying for such a service right now. I perhaps should have broadened statement to "dedicated IP" etc, but it remains true you can get a far more "useable" IP from some private VPN providers. One such example - and I know from my own testing this dedicated IP has far fewer issues with region locked content such as the BBC iPlayer or Netflix, where as almost every IP AWS has assigned me, including elastic IPs, has been blocked in the last few years: ˜ https://nordvpn.com/features/dedicated-ip/ https://nordvpn.com/features/dedicated-ip/ Same thing, different vendor: - https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/vpn-features/dedicated-ip-vpn https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/vpn-features/dedicated...
