The same is true for DO as well. Sites, maybe rightfully, are super suspicious of traffic originating from their ranges. So many captchas.

Last month Netflix blocked my Linode VPN from accessing local content, it took them surprisingly long.

But I guess it is worth it to try out smaller hosting providers, or even self-host. I did consider a Raspberry Pi at my parents home (they live in a different country).

Try a small VPS provider in your area. There are many boutique ones. ARP Networks in Los Angeles is one I've used and it's ranges seem clean. Tried DO and Vultr and got captcha hell.
