what do you think of vpns that use residential isps (are there any)?
basically a vpn that would use a local isp (like a Vodafone ip for UK or Germany) so you can avoid websites blocking you for using a vpn
Probably would work for geo-spoofing, but in most cases mullvad vpns haven't been blocked so much.
You can roll out your own vpn quite easily with something like tailscale and route all your traffic through your home machine.
If it's just like, using a friend's IP address, it's not really serving the same privacy purposes as you won't have the same IP address as loads of people, unlike using a commercial privacy VPN. I use Mullvad which is notorious for being blocked a lot, and even I can use the internet nearly completely unimpeded.
