You will need a good VPN and some free time.
Spotify
Despite the plethora of officially available music services, Spotify still has many benefits. For the free version, it is enough to turn on the VPN, but to buy a Premium subscription and experience all the delights of the service, you have to be a little confused.
Sign up to Spotify
1. Install any VPN and enable it.
2. Open Spotify and click the Get Spotify free button.
3. Fill out the registration form.
4. Download the application. The Android version can be installed from, but for iOS you will have to get an American Apple ID.

2. Select "Personal Account" and click "Continue".

Paying for a Spotify Premium Subscription

2. Click Get Spotify Premium.
3. Select the PayPal payment method and enter your US account details.

Pandora
The auto-tuning radio streaming service is not so popular in Russia, but it also has its fans. Pandora is generally appreciated for its accurate recommendation system and song selection.
Unlike Spotify, which only requires IP spoofing upon registration and a couple of times a month, Pandora won't work without an active VPN. However, any service will do, even free services that allow you to change your location to the United States.
Free account registration
1. Turn on your VPN, open Pandora and click Sign Up.
2. Enter your mail, create a password and fill in other data.
3. Install the application software. For iPhone, you need to use an American Apple ID.
Pandora Premium Payment
1. Log in to Pandora with your account and click the Upgrade button.
2. Select a tariff and click Start Free Trial.
3. Specify payment using PayPal, select the frequency of debiting and check the box.
4. Click Next, sign in to your US PayPal account and confirm the payment.
Netflix
The popular video service is officially available in Russia, but unlike the United States, we have much less content. To enjoy Netflix to its fullest, you need to use a paid VPN to spoof your IP address and bypass geo-blocking. Free services, unfortunately, will not work.
There are no problems with registering and paying for a subscription: Netflix officially works and accepts cards from Russian banks. All you need to do is subscribe to an American VPN and turn it on.
1. Choose one of the paid VPN services. Goose VPN is a great option as it offers a month of free use.
2. Go to Goose VPN and click the Try for free button.
3. Use email or Facebook account to register.
4. Select a tariff plan.
5. Enter your card details (payment will be charged starting from the second month).
6. Install the Goose VPN app from download and enable it.
Hulu
The Hulu service is great because it offers content from HBO, Fox, NBC and other studios and TV channels. At the same time, among the tariff plans there is one preferential one with advertising for only $ 6 per month.
Officially, Hulu does not work in Russia, so you need to use a VPN, and a paid one. The service also does not accept cards from Russian banks, which means that you will have to pay for the subscription through PayPal.
- Register and enable VPN as described in the Netflix section.
- Create a US PayPal account and transfer money to it as described in the Spotify section.
- Pay for your Hulu subscription using PayPal.
- Install the app from download.
