Consider finding a non-VPN-provider to set up your own tunnel via.

A VPS already bypasses known VPN provider ranges. A friend in the UK or US willing to put a box on their network and lose some bandwidth for a contribution towards a bigger connection would be even better (but of course requiring some trust)...

A VPS as a VPN server is coming from an IP range that belongs to a datacenter and netflix has Bern blockng these for some time atleast from Hetzner.
If you use a VPS from a big provider, sure that may well have the same issue.

It’s very tempting to ask a friend to buy a nuc, and just post them a pre-configured .m2 drive. Likely overkill as a Pi or similar would probably suffice.
