Is there an easy way to fake my IP address temporarily to show I am in another country?

You know, asking for educational purposes only.

Yes, get a VPN.

I have used:
https://protonvpn.com/

It offers free service that lets you pick from US/Netherlands/Japan, or a paid version that'll let you pick any country.

There is a free trial that'll start up when you first install it that'll let you use the paid version servers for several weeks, no credit card needed during that trial period

I believe booking flights from Estonia gets you the cheapest price

I use PIA for my vpn. Don't know if it's good or bad anymore, I've been with them too long without keeping up on the research and various companies.

I thought it was Elbonia? ;-)

I've been pretty happy using NordVPN.

I second PIA, been using them for probably over 5 years.

Just so everyone is aware and doesn't come crying later, we are constantly blocking IP Address subnets, which include many used by VPN's, due to their use by malicious actors.

If you choose to use a VPN and find your IP Address is blocked, you'll have to turn off the VPN to get back onto the site, we WILL NOT unblock the blocked IP's to accommodate you as this puts the site at risk.

yeah, when using the vpn I mentioned, most of the IP addresses I got were blocked here.

Most of the streaming services are pretty good at blocking "pay for" VPN IP's as well...

Thanks everyone.

Used a VPN through Tokyo and was able to take care of what I was trying to take care of.

Fortunately, I haven't been having that problem with the service i mentioned above. I have found a could of apps that do get cranky about it, but the big streaming services weren't them.

Maybe it's Japanese condoms that are flesh colored digital camo.

I tried some Japanese condoms once. They were way too small.

Damn... Beat me to it. So that means that in the known universe there are you, me, ray1970 and a shitload of Japanese kink-freaks who know about tentacle porn. And Anthony Weiner. And everyone who lives in Seattle. And Portland. And everyone who still lives in their Mom's basement- excluding those who live in Seattle or Portland. Hang on, I'm gonna need a Venn Diagram to maintain clarity.
