Recommend a VPN with residential exit IPs (lemmy.world)

Some friends have safety concerns that mean they need to appear digitally as if they're inside the USA while being elsewhere physically. Standard commercial VPNs are easy to detect (else I'd recommend Mullvad), so they need an option that looks like a residential connection.

They could potentially DIY it by leaving a VPN server at a relative's house, but I'm asking here for subscription services. It's best if they have a Mac OS app that's foolproof, with a clear visual indication that it's in use, and a feature to block traffic if the VPN is disconnected.

tl;dr: what's the closest residential VPN to Mullvad?

Not sure if this is exactly what you had in mind, but I have one of these devices and it does what it says, albeit a tad slowly and you’re counting on the exit node owner to not be a POS if the man comes knockin.

I suppose if adoption of this became bigger, it’d become faster. In any case, it’s easy to setup and the hardware is easily portable. I use it as I travel for work and occasionally come across a hotel that’s blocking the usual suspect vpn services.
