Now, before I tell you why we need a VPN, you must know that we triedusing a VPN serviceto register for a new Google account, but the process asks for a local phone number. We even tried using an Indian phone number to complete the sign-up process, though that didn’t work. So, we are using a quick workaround to register a new Google account.
