Most TOR exit nodes are generally well known and effectively blocked by those that care.  (Try Googling via TOR.  FYI, Tails is a product that uses TOR networks)
The problem with any of the VPN services is that regional content providers can just as easily get the VPN server IPs and block them.

I would pair up with someone in the US, get them to make their home network a VPN endpoint for you (they run a remote-access OpenVPN server, you would be the only user of it), and then view it through their ISP.   They lose some bandwidth, but for most people, it won't be too much.  They are put at some risk that you (or someone who piggy backs on your connection) will do something illegal for which they might get in trouble.

For what you want, you don't really need to do the encryption part of the VPN server & client.  You could configure it for the lowest (or no?) encryption.  That will make your CPU usage at the client and server less.  If you've got someone network-savvy, I'd look into setting up a GRE tunnel.  (I'm not sure that will work, but it is another possibility.)

However, be sure to read the provider's terms & conditions carefully.  They likely will prohibit such a configuration, perhaps calling it a re-transmission (although, I'm not sure how you could distinguish it from the normal routing in the network -- the only thing unusual is where you are, but that might be enough).

I believe if you use (say) OpenWRT routers at your end & an end in the US, then you can do either OpenVPN or GRE.  (Anything fancy on OpenWRT is not for the faint of skill.)

I would be remiss if I didn't point out that there are a lot of bogus "VPN" software and services.  And, if you think you're hiding where you're going, think again.  The only entity that loses that information is your ISP (but they may be getting all your host name lookups).  Now it is your VPN provider that gets all that information.

I've wondered whether Sling Watch Parties might be a way to get someone out of the region a chance to watch a regional source.  I've not tried to use a watch party as I rewind at every questioned call, which tends to drive others crazy.

P.S.  If I were a content provider, I can probably detect that a customer is getting data through tunneling (VPN or GRE), especially if they are 1000 miles away.  Hmm....  If you were running my imagined app, I could probably make your reception virtually unusable.

Chance you can translate this?
