VPNs are often very slow. Much faster, and a solution that works well for me, is something called Smart DNS, which is essentially a different set of DNS addresses. Both VPNs and DNS redirection will cost you a small amount of money - ignore the so-called free offerings, they are usually very slow and often not to be trusted.
