In case anyone wondered how to potentially get around this...

  • Pay for a server in another country that gives you SSH access
  • Create SSH SOCKS tunnel: ssh -N -D 8008 your-server-ip
  • Open your browser and set the SOCKS server to localhost:8008 (in Chromium/Firefox you can search for this in Settings)

I'm not 100%, but I think you could set this up for free with an Oracle AlwaysFree tier VM.

(Boo Oracle, yes I know. Still very handy.)

Just looked up Oracle Always Free... Good to know about, thanks!
