Are they? I can lease a VPS for under $12 a year. I don’t know of a VPN service that cheap unless it’s free and has limitations.

That would have lower bandwidth, no easy way to switch countries, and your server IP is completely static and identifiable (worse privacy). And it's more likely to be a datacenter IP which is blocked.

Yeah, the availability of countries and switching between several IP addresses is the only thing that I can think of.
