VPN that fools all websites & apps

[BSR]

I have Nord VPN, which used to be able to fool websites and apps into thinking I was in SpaiN; unfortunately, some of my favorite apps/sites have caught on.  For ex, I used to be able to watch my fave soap opera outside of Spain on a subscription app, no problem, but the app has caught on & no longer allows it.

Is there a VPN that fools all the websites/apps all of the time?  Or am I dreaming??

I have ExpressVPN which was great until recently, now it seems to get blocked frequently.

I generally use Surfshark and have had good luck with it as I’m traveling internationally. In fact, I’m connecting to it now from Medellín, Colombia as I post this. 

There are a couple of reasons I could see a VPN being pierced…

- DNS exposed. (Hard code a DNS provider)
- WebRTC leaked. Check a site like https://browserleaks.com/webrtc when connected to see if unintended info is leaking. 
- Some providers are just blocking “known” VPN ranges. You might need a provider that provides a dedicated IP that is only used by you.

My preferred VPNs are Proton VPN and StrongVPN. On the rare occasions a site blocks me, switching to a different server or swapping to the other provider usually solves the issue.

Also for apps, make sure they don’t have location permissions set if it’s a mobile device.  I can see GPS betraying you.  Some apps absolutely require it.  In that case, you need a GPS spoofer too.
