How are you people faking location to get a better price for subscriptions?
Spotify wants me to have a card from said county. I read that you can use PayPal, but they want a phone number from that country.
Any advice?
Edit: I'm aware that there are a lot of solutions to get it for free. I'm aware that I can just download my music.
Currently, I'm running running navidrome for my downloaded music and x manager Spotify for myself.
My wife has an iPhone. I don't want to download her music. But she's paying full price for Spotify.
I also like to listen from my work desktop. I have administrative rights, but it would be really dumb to download something like this to my work machine.
In several countries, I can get Spotify for like $30 dollars a year for 2 people. This price would be worth moving to legal. Especially for her, since she's paying $11 right now
VPS running wireguard server with hardened kernel and fail2ban and an optional GeoIP blocker/full-fledged WAF. SELinux is optional.
Connect both your mobile/portable device and a segment of your home network to the same interface if you're using Wireguard, but there are ways to do it with SSL VPNs too, I'm sure. You can now stream all of your media, self-hosted, no restrictions other than outgoing bandwidth costs on the VPS.
It'll take a weekend but this is not too hard TBH. Use IaC for even faster deployments.
I'm not sure why people think this is a realistic option for most anyone. No way anyone with no experience doing any of that is setting it up in a weekend.
