Most of us are aware how geoblocks are one more reason people nudge towards piracy. Well, I didn't knew that companies imposed geoblocks even on free content.

(can’t pick the server but get one assigned at random, might need to restart to get one in a useful location)

Oh, you absolutely can. You can download Wireguard or OpenVPN configs for specific servers even with free tier.
On Android I use: https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn

Though they don't let you select servers in Romania and Poland. Perhaps they just forgot to update the download page.

Ah yeah, I'm in China so I need the stealth option, which doesn't work with OpenVPN.
