I could surely just buy a VPS somewhere where it is allowed and then route through a VPN from there?

That would also be significantly less private than using a public VPN. This method would only prevent your ISP from seeing what you do, but if someone figures out the public ip of your VPS and connects it to your identity, then you’re just as exposed as when not using a VPN at all. The big advantage of public VPNs is that you share a public IP with dozens or hundreds of other users on the same server.

Using Tor would be the better option for privacy, but comes with its own issues. Also, please don’t abuse the tor network for piracy

So you are suggesting captchas? I used to make a living running a bot farm and whenever my bots would be promoted with a captcha I’d have it solved by a service like 2captcha for the low cost of 0.3cents per captcha

No, but in the near future it might connect to your neighbors wifi if he has IoT devices connected to his wifi
