You can test it out with the free service, but for that kind of constant load you should get the paid service.

Have you tested that the vpn actually works with mlb.tv? I know, as an nba fan, trying to get a vpn that works with league pass is exceedingly difficult.

I'd start with getting a OpenWRT-compatible router and flash the OpenWRT firmware onto it. You do NOT need to replace the modem. Looks like you already did that but with Tomato. Honestly, nevermind then, this comment is redundant.

It took me about 2 hours to do the whole setup with a tplink Archer wifi router hardware, I got it for about $40 used on Ebay.

If your looking for a newer router you could try a net gate router with pfsense. I believe it supports VPN/proxies.

Edit: your only problem would be it has no wireless capability’s, but you could do some nice network segmentation with that.

Also, to add to the pfsense recommendation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUzSsX4T4WQ

I think Tailscale is what you're looking for.

You can't change your IP with your own VPN server, you have to go through a third party VPN or proxy
