Proxy service would be perfect for this use case.

Step 1: Choose the Right Proxy Type
Residential Proxies: Mimic real users (best for streaming, social media).
Datacenter Proxies: Fast but may be flagged (good for general browsing).
Mobile Proxies: Ideal for mobile-restricted content (e.g., TikTok).

Step 2: Get Proxy IP and Port
Purchase from providers (e.g., PYPROXY, Bright Data) or use free proxies (less reliable).
Note the IP:Port, username, and password (if required).

Step 3: Set Up the Proxy
Browser Settings (Chrome example): Go to Settings > Advanced > System > Open proxy settings. Enter the proxy IP and port under Manual proxy setup.
Proxy Tools: Use software or browser extensions.

Step 4: Select a Target Country IP
Ensure the proxy IP is from a supported region (e.g., U.S. IP for Netflix).
Verify IP location

Step 5: Access the Site & Troubleshoot
Issue 1: Proxy Detected → Switch to residential/mobile proxies.
Issue 2: Slow Speed → Use ISP proxies or premium dedicated proxies.

Pro Tips
Some sites use advanced blocking—rotate IPs frequently.
Free proxies risk privacy leaks; paid services are safer.

Why Choose Residential Proxies?

A residential proxy is usually the most expensive type of proxy server because it ensures the highest level of anonymity. At first, all proxies follow the same principle: the transmitted data packets get a public IP address from the internet service provider (ISP) and travel to the proxy server, where the identity gets changed again. This way, the recipient will see and treat your web connection as if it originates from the proxy server IP.

In most cases, proxy providers offer two types – residential and datacenter proxy IPs. Datacenter proxies run servers in data centers, which makes them fast, and cheap, but easy to detect. Residential IPs are slow, but they use real addresses that get leased to real users, which are clients of ISPs. Because of that, all of its drawbacks become irrelevant: residential proxies are the best tool for hiding your IP if your goal is to blend in with organic user traffic, which is exactly what we need for data scrapers and other tools for gathering market intelligence.
