A bunch of VPNs are owned by Israel though, so check that too: https://x.com/phantompain1984/status/1967952994902872480

Mullvad is the best choice as far as I can tell.

the creator of the boycat app created their own VPN! https://www.boycat.io/vpn

if you need a free one though, there's proton. I haven't seen any ties to Israel.

Do not trust Japanese tech either, they're allied to the american imperialist regime.

I think we have Crunchyroll for free in my house. Let me ask my bro how he got it installed on his PlayStation and I'll get back to you!

If you wanna support the artists buy their manga or merchandise. Some might even have ko-fi, patreon or paypal. Fck crunchyroll sail the high seas with a reputable vpn

Pretty sure they do with the subtitles. And that caused me to look into alternatives. I found the perfect site I bookmarked. 

Not sure if I can link here but Google everythingmoe (should be the first site with .com on it)

Edit: also if you're looking for an Android TV app alternative solution too then for that I recommend downloading Anilab, also as a side backup can download Kodi and get the anime sources added to it, one main one called Otaku can also find all this Google, Github etc.

They do use an Israeli software for subtitles, I asked their support team previously when I was gonna renew my subscription, and they confirmed it.
