Same here. This happen so often that I might consider renting a VPS in the US to use it as a proxy. I found some at $5/mo with 250GB/mo for bandwidth, I even think it's enough to share and pay only $2.5/mo...

That's what I did - I got a cheapest VPS for $5 so that I can stream stuff from Hulu/CrunchyRoll/and few other services.

Plus - it's always useful to have a VPS anyway.

Do you just port forward with SSH via -D? Or do you use some sort of VPN solution?

Yep what I would do is just `ssh -C -N -D <port> <host>` and then tell my browser to use the SOCKS proxy at localhost:<port>.

(BTW, -D create a SOCKS proxy, port fowarding is done using -L :-).)
