If it's a state- or country-level requirement, one solution is a VPN to connect from a different region.

Not OP but will I have to use the VPN each time when accessing the platform? For example; if I want to follow certain art on Twitter, I use a VPN and make an account. Do I have to keep using the VPN or after making the account, that’s it?

    Firefox has a VPN built-in, there's loads of free ones but you do risk your traffic being exposed to shady entities. But yes I use a VPN to reach certain sites that are blocked in my state. I will not ID for anything internet related

    I've had a torguard VPN account for almost a decade now for when I used to download my movies and music. But nzb and soul seek has kind of not needed that. But I'll always have a VPN available.

    I think mine is 25 or $30 a year for up to 10 devices and it gets used quite a bit.
