Change your country in TOR browser to bypass geo-blocks etc.  
Free and more secure than any VPN

You will need Tor browser for this. Download [here](https://www.torproject.org/)

Step 1: Find your Tor Browser installation folder  
Step 2: Navigate to Browser → TorBrowser → Data → Tor  
Step 3: Open the file `torrc` with a text editor.

Add the following line to make the Tor Browser use exit nodes from specified country only, e.g. from the United States:

`ExitNodes {us} StrictNodes 1`

You can add multiple country codes like this:

`{kr},{ru},{sy},{cn}`

Consider disabling strict nodes. You can do this by replacing StrictNodes 1 with StrictNodes 0 which will ensure that Tor can still use other countries’ codes if your specified ones aren’t working.

Note: To find the country code of your country, look [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2)
