I do not enjoy being identified as a VPN user from the sites I use. Every mainstream vpn provider is obvious to them…
Has anyone found an alternative way to shield IP without being flagged as a VPN user?
If you want anonymity, you don’t want a unique IP. Sharing an IP helps with anonymity.
Most IP blocks are known for residential / commercial use. If an IP is coming out of the datacenter the VPN is using, it doesn’t matter if the VPN provider is previously known to the website or not. The site is identifying it simply from coming from a known datacenter, not because they’ve encountered the specific VPN company before. You’d probably run into this issue even if you rolled your own VPN on AWS or something.
Based on your question and need, I’d suggest looking up a self hosted VPN solution like Outline (https://getoutline.org/) and Algo (GitHub - trailofbits/algo: Set up a personal VPN in the cloud).
Both are relatively easy to set up, and you control most of the important items, which is where the server is hosted (country and platform), can asssign a unique IP that is unlikely to be blocked etc.
Try residential proxy. It is hardly detected.
You can visit https://www.ip2proxy.com and see if your IP address is detected or not.
I had an Idea. perhaps my best choice is to aquire foreign sim cards and use the 4g data?Then (I believe) the IP will display as the home country for the tele network?I have not tested this, and not sure how well it would work??
To be sure, I need a swedish IP address. So to aquire a swedish sim card…?
thank you. I’m looking into this (outline) now it seems interesting and a good answer
yep in the end I paid for ipburger $250… seems to be just what I needed

I think you are getting the wrong ideas about how roaming works.
Roaming is basically using your country telco’s infra so you will still get your country IP address range my man.
yes the setup was very painless imo and bonus points, they have their own manager and VPN client applications, whereas most self hosting ones ask you to use 3rd party ones (tunnelblick) or command line tools
ipburger worked for me as well
thanks, but the priority is for my connection to appear as “normal” as possible.
Doing nothing illegal where I care about being traced, that is not the issue. I just want to appear as regular swedish customer, without being in sweden. 
If he is roaming with a Swedish SIM, he will still have a Swedish IP. At least in EU.
but wont this get flagged as a datacenter IP and not a residential IP since you set it up in a cloud hosting provider?
what service from IPburger worked for you guys?
Ask a friend in Sweden to plug a raspberry pi into their router with wireguard running on in.
Chuck them a few $ for the internet share.
IPBurger has an option called “Dedicated / Fresh Proxies”. Presumably the IP has never been assigned to anyone so should not be detectable as a proxy. You should try to keep the IP clean by not doing questionable activities on it. The problem for me was that the speed was not good enough for video calls, so I ended up cancelling it.
I just purchased the residential IP proxy - pro plan with 25gb. It works so far (undetected as proxy). I still need to try video calls…
Yeah I used Browserleaks. IP was undetected as vpn or proxy. Came up as a normal residential cellular network IP
