Funny rant
you might want to try MaskMyIP or something similar.
There are programs that let you change your location so if you are in US it looks like you are in China or elsewhere.
In your case Netherlands to US.
Another option.
This might work
Interesting video if you can watch it.
Hotspot Shield might do the trick. Never used it can't comment on its effectiveness.

I've tried downloading and using the TOR (The Onion Ring) browser with a proxy but things slowed to a crawl so I stopped this.

This may get around the issue you are having. Not sure as I don't do much with this .

At least, even if that warming continued for many years to come, there would not be CO2 being released, not counting with the one that is present and harming the environment, but we are not supporting that the warming continues for an even longer period of time, or even for ever, if it is irreversible, which is the path we are following uncontrollably. For those years to come of warming up, (if we actually ever stop burning fossil fuels and start using a considerable amount of renewable energies sources), we would simply have to suffer the consequences that we ourselves have produced, such as massive flooding, and a literally unstable weather. Of course, the sea level will rise, affecting the highly populated countries or areas, such as Netherlands, New Orleans, and for sure tons of other places around the world. It doesn't mean directly that it will flood entire cities at once,(at some point they may perhaps, if we do not do anything about it), but what will happen, for certain, that floods and natural disasters will be more frequent and more deadly - due to the alteration of many factors that depended upon each other - at some point being all a chaos for the human intervention.

Great to hear acknowledgment that the data from this star came at first from citizen scientists. A "Zooniverse project called; Planet Hunters!"
Exiting stuff for all people who give their time & effort just as volunteers inspiring others to help
as well, thanks @Melina-t for keeping us informed!
Wishing all those who are involved good luck in further research for the unexplained in our Universe!
Kind regards from the Netherlands!

Here are a few I know of : One can go through the About pages of many of the other projects to find many more (African or Australian based camera traps for example, or Orangutan nests in Indonesia)
In short we are rather international, and definitely not just US UK.

Snapshot Hoge Veluwe is another project from the Netherlands, available in both Dutch and English: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/y-dot-liefting/snapshot-hoge-veluwe?language=nl

Hello scientist and fellow volunteers,

My name is: Leonie van Vliet from the Netherlands.

I have been on Galaxy-zoo and the Zooniverse projects since the beginning; kind of an allrounder you might say.
Enjoyed; searching, hunting ,classifying and learning along the way.

Happy with the new way its presented (saw that coming from lightyears away) and nice to meet you all like
this.

Since childhood interested in the great beyond and "knowledgeable" through reading and friends ( whom
are real scientist ) the mysteries of the Quantum world! The Universe available here for everyone in our
macro cosmos is just as challenging.

Its a privilege to help in a small way as volunteer I do not need recognition nor fame. Being a part is
more than enough.

Thanking Jean Tate, ElisabethB, Julianne & a few others for their help and support!

Leonie van Vliet...
