Hi,

I don't know if you have considered the option to get a VPN service.
You can get a VPN service very easily, there are many providers which
offer OpenVPN and some even give basic service for free which can be
used for basic browsing needs. For heavy usage you will have to pay to
get reliable service though but it would be a good solution to the
issue.
