This is the obvious answer for people with the technical skill to maintain a VPN server but what about everybody else?

Really, we've all been spoiled by credit cards. Checks, money orders, wire transfers, and even cash, all still work.

And while I'm not aware of a properly turn-key solution for a VPN server, it should hardly be an epic undertaking to create one. Setting up a Linode account and running a StackScript is simple enough even for mostly-clueless people.

Using sshuttle[1] you don't even need to setup a VPN, just get a VPS and run a simple command on your client machine to connect.

You could always connect to a Lahana[1] node for emergency situations. It's not as quick as a normal VPN and you shouldn't run a torrent client through it, but it works.

Pay someone who has the skill?
