Do you know anyone in that country who will let you stick an rPI behind their modem?

AppleTV has a Tailscale client that you can use an exit node. That's what I do to VPN back to home when I'm traveling.

AppleTV is pretty random and only vaguely incidental to the solution. Tailscale runs on computers. Basically anything will do. If you don't have a home server, just grab a cheap RPi or an old laptop. Or in a pinch drop it onto an old phone from your old phone drawer.

I think most here know that. What interests me is how easy to setup and maintain an appleTV is - you do nothing.
I love my Pi but sometimes I want life to be mindless easy.

I have been thinking about it but it is tricky from a legal standpoint. What I'm trying to arrange next time I visit is to have a secondary line installed at my parents place that is in my name. So that when I pull heavy traffic from that line it doesn't impact them and I can't get them in trouble for posting a message that isn't government approved.

Heavy traffic to access a bunch of gov websites? There's definitely more to your story then.
I'd say, anything heavy and random, use the general VPN and the rest use an rpi at your parents' home.

They used government websites as an example, not to say that all of their traffic was to government websites.
