[Rise of the Raven](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/rise_of_the_raven/s01/e01) is a Netflix series and it looks super cool. It appears to be only available in Hungry so I’m going to need a VPN of some sort to watch it in the US. I have no idea what I’m doing and since it’s just for this show I’d rather not pay much if anything.

ProtonVPN looks ok and offers a free trial subscription.

Maybe there are other VPNs people could point a complete rookie too.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.
