You'll want a provider with a ton of servers. For bypassing service level blocks, either a VPN like Express with thousands of servers or your own VPN is the way to go. there are docker images for setting up a VPN on a $5 VPS.
it depends on your risk tolerance. do you need to stay as anonymous as possible (with VPN as layer 1) or do you need to be able to watch shows in a different language? Mullvad and IVPN have a limited set of rented and owned servers that are setup for security and privacy. Express, Nord, and those less ethical VPNs don't care about that, they just want as many cheap servers as they can possibly get.
