Rent yourself a VM somewhere outside the UK (but not in the US). Set up openvpn on that box. Ubuntu handles that perfectly well. The VPN will hide all activity from your ISP so they can't log it. Better yet, for anonymity, use Tor. In fact you could combine the two so that your ISP can't even see that you are using Tor.

Happy to help if necessary.

Agreed.

I can highly recommend Digital Ocean, who have data centres all over the place. The Dutch one typically give me speeds of over 400meg.

Their base server is $5 a month and is perfectly adequate for the task. It takes about 1 minute to set up an Ubuntu VM (with SSD disks) and not too long to install OpenVPN.

If you do decide to go for DO, then use my referral link and you'll get $10 in credit immediately (2 free months!). To be open, if you do use my link, after you've spend $25, they credit my account with $25 as well. You can cancel at any time. With 2 free months you have nothing to lose by giving it a go.

Just to be clear, I have been using DO for a very long time, and I would recommend them even without any incentive.

Cheers, Laurie.

PS. Their API is very Ansible-friendly.
