"If all you need is to "change your IP" for some specific purpose, this and many other tutorials out there can accomplish this task for <$5/month."

But using your ControlD service, OP can get it for $0/month, right?

Nope, that will cost $4/month :)

Also, Control D is a DNS service, not a VPN.

Got it. But the $4/month isn't just DNS, right? It also proxies traffic so you can spoof geolocation?

Indeed. DNS-only is 1/2 the price.

Just be mindful that despite it being able to spoof your location, SNI is still in the clear. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication
