Surely it's overkill to pay for a whole month of constant vpn use. You could cook something up that provides access for a short session aaand we've circled back to dialers.

It's <$5 per month. The economics start to be more about the general cost of managing transactions, accounts, and customer service than about paying for how much VPN you actually use.
Yep, a $5/mo Mullvad subscription pays for itself several times over if you snag even just a few movies or one cracked Adobe tool every year.
4 or 8tb storage isn’t even that much these days. You could torrent thousands of gb of porn and just store it until later. Heck if you lived somewhere that was getting really stupid and cracking down you could even sell cheap dvds with porn in a weird black market. The world gets dumber by the day
Short session? The month is good.
OP just needs a couple minutes of VPN
ControlD[1] will do that for you. 1. https://controld.com/
A lot of VPN plans have a traffic limit instead although a free VPN with no traffic limit is really cheap tbh
