   Are you trying to use a variety of free vpn/s; or are you using a vpn   
   service (often pay) which provides an 'array' of vpns to use, your choice?   
      
   As an example; proton vpn free provides 100 servers in 3 countries, .us   
   .jp .nl whereas proton pay provides 1700 servers in over 60 countries.   
      
   And, one can choose which country one wants free or pay.   
      
   The parameters of other free/pay vpn/s have other varieties of choices.   
      
   I actually don't think your 'problem' is very difficult in one sense;   
   but on the other hand, some 'wiley' services which care where the   
   participant is located are also able to detect the very condition of   
   your using a vpn, particularly the free ones.
