By default - you don’t get to pick which country ToR plonks you in… it seems random to me anyway…
One site for downloading offline torrents for backups of content (for purely archival purposes only of course!) shows you what region ToR plonked you in…
There may be a method for specifying your region - I don’t know…
This is an option but how to do it from another country? Do you buy online server from an UK operator and put there a LAMP proxy for you? Is it cheaper than a VPN? My VPN costs less than 3 Euro/Month. If your proxy gets banned by BBC/Netflix/Sky you need a new IP… I know people who use VPN to connect to another country and use Netflix/ similar there because it’s cheaper or there’s more series in that county to watch. So it is possible the broadcast company blocks you if they notice you’re using a proxy.
Thats an answer I would like to hear…
I own a UK based web site so could find its IP address but that would not be enough to give me access to TV i guess ?
Area outside my knowledge base.
Of course you can.
You gave me an idea 
I’m thinking now to setup Open VPN on my Odroid, and connect to it with my laptop from anywhere on the field, thus being home from a networking aspect
As I understand many use VPN’s to obscure real geographical position.
Setting up a VPN on your own device in your own LAN would not help in this.
OK, they offer, but do they require?
(Again, I don’t have real experiences in public VPN’s).
As I look at ProtonVPN (as one of the suggested options), I see it’s possible to use it without installing their special client.
Using only my distro provided binaries, I feel quite safe regarding malware bits possibly pushed by the provider.
If it’s for professional use don’t mess with it😁 but if the site is just for hobby you could check if you have a terminal access with sudo to it. Then you could add there nginx proxy. Read more with search: LAMP or Linux proxy server
I’m sure you can use any paid VPN with OpenVPN. They give you .ovpn files
Yes my own company website but cannot sudo it, only ftp. Think its hosted on a windows platform but really cannot remember its been so long with same company, they may have upgraded it over the years to sometimes else but have not kept tabs on the host just look and use.
Think I will leave alone prefer buying books as wanted
Yes, you need a VPN server somewhere on the other side of the geoblocking boundary.
So, it would be possible for 2 people to collaborate and offer each other a remote VPN server.
Why cant there be a peer-to-peer network of VPN server pairings, like there is for downloads? Like BitTorrent. It might be slow because home VPN servers would be limited by upload speeds.?
Use Wireguard, it’s easier than OpenVPN and it’s in the kernel
Thanks for the recommendation!
I bookmarked this. 
I never did such a thing, and honestly don’t need at all -at the moment-.
If I do it, I’ll do just for the sake of it 
I agree…much prefer books to videos. Dont like Ebooks, like paper.
I am now on to my second kindle after the first died could not return to real books now for travel and evening in the dark cannot be beaten
But text books for computer I prefer paper so I can make notes in. Something I never would have done years ago needed to treasure them but now need the notes as well
Yes, I do that. Some of my textbooks are riddled with notes. I am especially bad in philosophy books.
I made a quick search. Ionos is appr 5£/month for root access server in UK so it’s a possibility.
I have my VPS at Aruba.
I have found them the most affordable.
They have a data center in London too.
The smallest plan seems to be VPS O1I1 now, it’s 2,5 € +VAT /month.
I think I have the same plan, just with a different name (storage, CPU, RAM is the same for me).
Hi all, 
thanks so much for a wealth of new comments and suggestions by you. 
I was thinking about that, too. No idea why that scenario was put into the article.
Has it occurred yet? I have no clue.
Thanks for telling me not to worry. 
Well, I haven´t used any VNP service yet, free or otherwise.
So it´s just a theortical discussion for me at the moment. But it´s interesting indeed.
@ihasama :
Yes, that´s mainly it, I suppose.
Unfortunately BBC streams generally are geo-blocked.
The only one I could get to work the “normal” way is the one described in my initial post (BBC News TV).
Well, it´s better than nothing, right?
I have sometimes experimented with the tor-browser.
But you cannot actively select the country as far as I know. The exit node changes randomly.
@nevj :
You´re right, Neville. Although it´s just a thought experiment at the moment.
Thanks a lot for the links. I´ll look them up.
Taking a rough glance at them it seems they provide some interesting insights.
Thanks to all again.
Many greetings from Rosika 
That part is so frustrating… Ok we no longer pay the licence fee so they don’t make money from us.
I noticed more and more sites block with paywall if not regional as well
I just don’t visit
Hi Paul,
Couldn´t agree more.
I wish there was a general consent that no Broadcasting Institution in any country, at least not the public ones, would geo-block its contents, so that all of them would be on an equal basis.
But I guess due to licensing fees this sadly will never become a reality. 
Cheers from Rosika
As always down to money no free lunch.
Even youtube has so many adverts now when you visit …
ERrrrrrrrrrrrr
Some of us pay the Licence Fee.
Live???
2 laptops side by side, one using Firefox and the other DuckDuckGo, and there was a time lag of a split second with DUCKDUCKGO, but both were live.
Same here - I had a Kobo reader that I used for a few years - managed my collection using Calibre - so I could “sideload” DRM free epub files onto it easily… But I found it too limiting - I do actually by books with DRM - and I hated having to buy them from Rakuten… There were some books I wanted I could only get through Kindle…
My eyes are too poor to read the tiny print in paperbacks these days - and - I don’t want to visity the large print section of my local library - and - they don’t have a great selection anyway - I once checked to see if they had any decent science fiction and didn’t spot any…
Oh - and software keeping your progress is great! And I can go from Google Books app on my iPad to the app on my Android phone, and it knows what page I was up to - that’s too convenient. e.g. when I donate blood every three months - I use my phone to carry on reading what I was up to on my iPad mini.
So I replaced the Kobo with an iPAd mini. I miss the paperwhite and the 30 days between charges (the iPad mini needs to kept on charge when not in use - which is frustrating - as it’s almost always idle - but still drains the battery) - I can “side load” many DRM free e-books into Google Play Books - or open them directly in iBook app (from a Resilio Sync share)…
I did originally buy a “crowdsourced” Android (8) based e-book reader (e-Ink) - but barely used it - there’s no WAY to increase the font size in the Android interface and when I complained to the developer they just say “sorry…” - that’s not very helpful… So if I ever buy another e-ink device - I’ll be sure and do some research… I still think iPad UI is a much better experience than Android…
In reference to the above posts about VPNs - many SOHO routers have this option - mine can do OpenVPN…
