Spent 2 hours setting up a VPN just to watch a UK show on Netflix
I wanted to watch that British baking show that everyone talks about but it's not available here in Chicago. Took me way longer than I thought to find a free VPN that actually worked with streaming, like 2 hours of trial and error. Finally got ExpressVPN to unblock it but man, the quality kept dropping. Anyone have a better way to access region locked shows without the headache?

And here I thought my biggest challenge today would be picking a show, not becoming a part-time IT support.

Ugh, I feel your pain so much lol. I tried doing the same thing last month for that UK crime drama everyone's been raving about and my free VPN kept buffering every 30 seconds, it was literally unwatchable. The worst part is when you finally think you've got it working and then the Netflix crackdown message pops up like "you're using a proxy" and you just wanna throw your laptop out the window. Honestly, I've just started accepting that some shows will take forever to load or I'll watch them in 480p like it's 2010 again.
