You need to change your location under Account. That's for tax purposes. No VPN needed.

If you use a country with same tax everywhere, no address is needed. USA sales tax varies by location, so you need somewhat on an address with absolutely a Zip code (which sets the sales tax).

Then your payment method may object. Paypal used to work, but may not. A Revolut account might work. But in all cases the payment agency may flag the transaction as possible fraud (due to mismatched locations) and then you need the payment app to release/verify the transaction.
