Find a proxy?
Can you share a free proxy that would work for them?
Otherwise you'd be recommending them use a paid service "like a moron"
Do you have friends? With internet connections? That's how you do this.
So your suggestion is to convince a friend to let me tunnel all my Internet traffic through their connection, with no concern of uptime?
I mean yeah, I guess that works, but is unreliable, and in some cases unobtainable.
Seems like a paid service would be easier for quite a few folks.
Or just the traffic you need to
I've done this for people. With a good connection, it's fine.
This may shock you, but noncommercial relationships can be be helpful for fighting the oppression of corporate oligarchy.
Yeah. If they want to lick boot that bad, I may as well be talking to my fridge.

You mean like the one that Plex provides with Plex pass?
I haven't been able to find a free proxy provider that is ok with streaming video. Closest I've found is CloudFlare, and video streaming isn't permitted on their free tier.
Plex pass is a lot cheaper for me than paying for CloudFlare's non-free tiers, especially since I got myself a lifetime pass 3 years ago.
