VPN Sever Location Question

[chixman64]

For the past week or so I have been trying to find a VPN service that has a server in Milwaukee, WI. With YouTube TV I want to placeshift and sign up there. Anyone have any ideas? I am new to VPN's. Be gentle!

Most vpn services will place their data center in chicago since it has much better connectivity in that part of the country. Does it actually have to be in mulwaukee.

I have not seen one that has a data center there but there are many hundreds of vpn services so maybe one does. Many services like netflix or amazon have lists of ip blocks used by vpn and prevent you from using their services from those IP. Not sure about youtube.

You best bet would be to try to find a VPS service in the city. Most larger cities have them...again a lot will be in chicago since it has better internet connectivity. In these you rent part of a server and load your own VPN server on it. These are not blocked as often by the providers. Many are not much more expensive than a VPN service per month. You would have to setup a vpn or proxy on the service instance you purchase. I would avoid the services that load preconfigured VPN on the VPS for you, these tend to be more likely blocked by the providers.
