If my only use case of to bypass geofencing for media, then those can be OK.

It's been at least a decade since that worked for me... But it's not like I kept trying.

But back in the day it was a lot of fun to go thru YouTube for Aussies and Brits to see what kind of music they got that we didn't.

At least back then there were a lot of artists who didn't upload to American accessible YouTube for whatever reason. Probably something with labels and licensing

It works fine for YouTube and every foreign TV channel I've found. But I haven't tried subscription services, maybe they have stricter rules.
