2. Manually change your IP using paid or open proxies
Another solution is to manually change your IP. Go to sites that list proxies (e.g. SamAir.ru), find a proxy from the Netherlands and then change your browser’s settings to use that proxy. Further, take for example 130.37.198.244:3128 and configure your browser to use it when you connect to the internet.
