Yes, but the OP still won't save...

...unless e.g. he has a USA, German, Netherlands etc. bank account.

I tried the Opera VPN and thank you for this very useful piece of information. It certainly works and I was able to use the USA server to be offered a subscription to Tidal in USD.

However if the OP uses this and (as I expect) enters his UK credit card details then every month his account will be debited with $19.99. And every month his UK bank will charge him a foreign transaction fee thus obliterating any saving he has made (or thereabouts).

Just as a general point there can also be a problem with websites who tailor their offering to the location of the interrogating computer. For example, as a test using the USA VPN, I was unable to see bbc.co.uk as after entering the URL I was automatically transferred to the USA .com version.
