I'm sorry Gordon but I think this needs to be said. On a list devoted
to tor, recommending a VPN is not ideal. Whilst a commercial VPN might
buy you a geo specific location, at best it buys you /very/ limited
anonymity and privacy.

But, yes, if all you are concerned about is (say) a US IP so that you
can view Hulu, it might be acceptable. It depends upon your use case.
