      Can you share a free proxy that would work for them?

      Otherwise you’d be recommending them use a paid service “like a moron”

          So your suggestion is to convince a friend to let me tunnel all my Internet traffic through their connection, with no concern of uptime?

          I mean yeah, I guess that works, but is unreliable, and in some cases unobtainable.

          Seems like a paid service would be easier for quite a few folks.

      You mean like the one that Plex provides with Plex pass?
      I haven’t been able to find a free proxy provider that is ok with streaming video. Closest I’ve found is CloudFlare, and video streaming isn’t permitted on their free tier.
      Plex pass is a lot cheaper for me than paying for CloudFlare’s non-free tiers, especially since I got myself a lifetime pass 3 years ago.
