A show I wanted to watch turned out to be unavailable in my country, and I started looking for ways to access it without signing up for a full VPN service. Proxies seemed like a simpler option, but I am not sure how well they actually work for streaming or checking content from other regions. For those who have used residential proxies for this kind of thing, did they handle the task smoothly, or did you run into blocks and slow speeds that made it more trouble than it was worth?
