Express VPN does something 'cause I keep getting K-Pop ads. You can choose the country you want to pretend to be in. I'm sure NSA has a way to see around it, but they'd be disappointed in my case.

Also the one at the crosswalk near here has never worked in 15 years. They think it makes people feel more in control. No one goes near it.
