Not outside of the UK without a VPN (And let's be honest, who buys one in a country which has restricted internet to begin with?) but if they haven't blocked this link in your locale here's an option to watch it as well:

It would be the first thing I'd get in a country with restricted internet :)

You'd buy a VPN outside of that country, not inside it.

Ah but most VPNs have exit nodes in pretty much every major country in the world.

Are there VPN services that reliably work with geo-blocked content? I haven't tried many but I have currently have a Mullvad subscription and I basically can't watch anything as all the IPs are blocked. I've also done some searches about the other big VPN providers and it seems like they are all blocked too. I wonder if I can spin up a VPS and roll my own? I kinda of assume all the major cloud provider IPs would be blocked as well.

Roll your own for sure

I suggest trying out wireguard, it's a ton easier to set up than openvpn or ipsec

I haven't been blocked on decently reputed hosting providers
