PSA: There are paid services that use residential/clean (not identified as VPN) IP address VPNs/proxies that allow you to watch Hulu etc in other countries. (lemmy.world)

Just a heads up since this doesn't seem to be common knowledge. There are a lot of different services. You can search "residential proxies" or "clean ip address vpn" and similar. Not sure if I'm allowed to name the names of services, but the one I use (not affiliated, just been using it for a few months now) has a US VPN option for $10/mo BUT there's a $20 setup fee. Similar prices for other countries I think. If you use some of the shadier services that use browser plugins and desktop apps to "loan out traffic" then you can probably get them a lot cheaper. Just don't install anything from the shadier ones, use the VPN config files.

Just helping spread information to those that may want to watch new episodes and movies in a different language or that are inaccessible in their region (and use a converter box to record and reupload them, if they're angelic and technologically inclined)

it's not exactly widely known that these services are available unless you're terminally online, have infosec interest, or buy and sell new and limited edition sneakers with bots.
