spotify

I was in the UK and enjoyed Spotify relentlessly. Now I've moved back to Greece and I can't even pay for the darn thing.

So my idea was this-

I have a server in France and it has a fail-over IP in the UK. So I installed a proxy server on it and made it listen to the UK IP.

So far so good.

Then, I played Spotify for a while through the proxy server just fine, and it thought I was in the UK.

But now... it gives me an error message that I'm in another country than the one on my profile (UK). I don't really understand why - maybe they also geolocate the IP address of the client, not just the proxy server?

Either way, I'm kinda stuck - is there a way to tunnel Spotify's network traffic through my server transparently? Maybe a VPN or something similar?

Thanks
