Looking for a VPN(not free)

[CloudWatcher]

12. Location spoofing

You're welcome! I should also mention then that people can use VPNs to confuse a content provider's guess about where they are located. E.g. if you connect to the BBC through a VPN server in the UK, you may be able to fool the BBC into thinking you are in the UK ... and thus able to watch normally restricted content.

So of course the content providers try and figure out if you're using a VPN server and still block you ... but it's a bit of an arms race.

And it's not surprising that what VPNs do is a mystery. I've heard a lot of over-the-top ridiculous ads by VPN providers trying to scare you into thinking you really need to buy their service.
