I tend to play Team Fortress 2. It’s a rather old game. The server I play on used to allow anyone to connect. Later on, it kicked me (sometimes) because it detected me originating from one of MullvadVPN’s IP addresess. They seem to have updated the blacklist list so it always seems to detect me using a VPN. I just don’t want to share my public IP with them.
Is there a clever way around this? I feel like all the residential proxies tend to be quite pricey compared to a normal VPN

Hmm… All I can think of is doing this and borrowing a neighboring towns internet. Like a blackbox xD which doesn’t sound legal.
Doing in within my own network, would not change my IP. Doing it within a family members network… Well I don’t want to share their IP either :P
Or do you mean like one of those free website hosting providers?
What are you talking about mate? The VPS will be a wireguard server, your device will connect to it and use the VPS’ IP address to connect to your game
More like effectively a paid-for VPS which, depending on where you live, might cost about €3/mo.
Configuration is all on your end and, to be fair, you may still end up on a blocklist since that’s just a way to bypass their VPN restriction and your IP will not show up to be a residential address.
