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
