For the first time I've just seen what all the VPN sponsored youtubers are on about. Tried to watch the latest episode of South Park in Italy but apparently Paramount doesn't like that idea, so I just used Wireguard to connect back home and boom, all works again. The usefulness is real.

@FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com I've found that a lot of the youtuber ad-supported ones amusingly don't really work anymore. Looks like the streaming services are catching on and blocking a bunch of these now, but your solution still works yeah :)

@zersiax@cupoftea.social @FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com The fun thing about running things like Tailscale exit nodes or Wireguard from residential IP addresses is that they are residential IP addresses. There is not an immediate red flag that says "Hey, this is a commercial VPN, or a VPS. Let's block it!"
I have some of that using a Linode VPS as an endpoint sometimes.

And, with Tailscale/headscale, the exit node can even be behind CG-NAT.

@BorrisInABox@fwoof.space @FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com Right but that does require you having access to a box in a country you want to VPN in from , no? Not sure to what degree Linodes in foreign datacenters would get the block hammer :)
