It would be cheaper for me to order a brand new MacBook Air to my mother-in-law in the UK, and then run an exit node via Tailscale, to access DAZN.

She has fiber, I have fiber, would work like a charm.

  I use a similar setup with my brother who lives in Europe, but instead of a
  MacBook Air, I’m using a Raspberry Pi.

  The Pi runs Tailscale as an exit node, and whenever I want to catch a game or a
  show, I simply connect to that exit node from my computer and launch the DAZN
  web app. It’s not something I use all the time, but it’s a great option when I
  need access to a game that isn’t available on my local streaming services.

  While this setup works, it’s far from ideal. Having to go through the entire
  process is a bit cumbersome. It would be much more convenient if there were a
  way to directly access the video feed stream—maybe with a dedicated cable box
  that you can control remotely.

  I’ve also come across some dubious streaming sites that broadcast virtually
  every channel from multiple providers—literally thousands of channels. I’ve
  always been curious how they manage to pull that off.

sling box used to do exactly that, but I haven't looked at them in years.

An Apple TV would be a lot cheaper than a MacBook air, and be useful to her as well.
