If you're gonna do this stuff always always always use a VPN, and not a free VPN. Honestly I use a VPN for literally everyhing. My two mobile phones and 3 PCs and a home server. If I can't get to a site because they block VPNs then fuck them I'll spend my money somewhere else.

What are good VPNs to use?

I used Algo to make my own, it builds a VPN server on your host. If you choose to host on digitalocean the script sets everything up via API and you're done in minutes.
