Spotify does not support travel?

I mean fair enough, i use this version of Spotify and don't pay them a single cent: https://bestforandroid.com/apk/spotify-premium-mod-apk/

But if I was a paying customer i would be pretty pissed opening Spotify the first time on my 3 week travels and seeing this crap :⁠-⁠O Funnily there isn't even an option to change the location as suggested. Neither in the modded app nor on spotify.com on FF mobile.

Others have mentioned other clients, but I'm going to suggest a different, less convenient route. Would you still have that problem if you routed your phone's traffic through an exit node in your home network?

Tailscale ftwwwww

Why add the third party? Just run an instance of wireguard on your home network and call it a day.

Because that's physically impossible for tons of people. CGNATs are very common.

Well nothing is impossible, but it does complicate things very much. Certainly outside "just run a container and call it a day" territory.

Can you explain that to an idiot like myself? I'm running TailScale right now and I have my own router in front of my ISP's. Is there a good, simplistic guide for my setup?

The easiest way is with pivpn

https://www.pivpn.io/

I've tried that, but it's broken my Pi-hole install twice. To the point of needing dev intervention. I assumed it wasn't working for everybody until you mentioned it

I've never had an issue with pihole (i run them on the same device). Pivpn ibstaller typically detects pihole and juat sets it up as pivpn dns but you could also have it not do this in the installer

Yeah, I have no clue where it went wrong and I'm not exactly technical enough to diagnose it

Best move is to try to do pivpn installer again and when it says we found a pihole installation do you want to use pihole with pivpn say no. If it still breaks uninstall pihole, install pivpn l, then reinstall pihole

I installed mine on OPNsense. I used the OPNsense documentation: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-client.html. Here is another guide: https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/road-warrior-vpn-wireguard-opnsense/. And yet another if you want to set it up in docker: https://linuxiac.com/how-to-set-up-wireguard-vpn-with-docker/. However, the firewall rules can get a bit messy.
