Re: Europe
Indeed. Hosting on one's own connection is often impractical. Sites like lowendbox feature deals at pretty bargain basement prices fairly regularly, including services which are ok with OpenVPN use. A friend has one of these just for tunnelling to his dev servers (for work) without getting blocked by a weird corporate firewall setup. Trick is to find a service which gives you an IP geolocated to the Uk, but far less likely to get caught in a dragnet ban than if using commercial VPNs.

There's various techniques services can use to detect inconsistencies. Browsers still give a lot away...

I started out using Hotspot shield very successfully for many years, then had a problem as the BBC managed to block it for a short while, so started using smart DNS proxy, because I didn't cancel my subscription on HSS I now pay for both, which still isn't very expensive but handy if one gets blocked I can use the other.

For what it is worth, I have used StreamVia https://www.streamvia.com/ for few years and in few different countries, including China and it is yet to let me down. The only UK website I could not access from abroad was National Lottery. I believe StreamVia has an option for live TV streaming in HD.

It is effective, but not in the way originally suggested - it doesn't give a "different set of DNS addresses" in any meaningful sense. Proxies do still have some advantages over VPNs, for the reasons explained on that page - they can be faster, as they only reroute the traffic you need rerouting rather than all of it, and they don't have the overhead of encryption. But, against that, they are insecure and more easily blocked by the content providers. Once upon a time, proxies were the usual means of defeating geo-IP blocking. But VPNs are becoming the preferred solution, because they are much more secure. And the speed advantage of proxies has generally fallen away with better bandwidth and connectivity.
