Since Google eliminated country specific search sites like google.co.uk and bans you from changing location you have to get VPN. If you happen to be travelling and want to do Xmas shopping for UK Google now blocks this possibility because it assumes you want to shop for delivery at your airport transfer lounge location because it doesn't understand user intent or helpful content, in its own bubble land it unbelievably says this is a smoother experience for users! Most expats now are forced onto vpn if they still use Google. Fortunately ai is doing away with the need for Google altogether.
