Web pages were loading in the foreign language my VPN was in, so I tried using a free proxy but couldn’t find a reliable way to make that work. Any suggestions?

If your country gets warrant happy, wouldn’t having a VPN in a more privacy friendly or non-five-eyes country be better? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

If you’re worried about your government, then you shouldn’t be using a VPN, you should be using Tor Browser to stay anonymous.

Can’t have it both ways. Either you use your own country and then (if geoip works) it also thinks that you are there or use another and then it will think you are there.
