Get a vpn with a server in America (an American IP address)

Anywhere form 5 to 20 USD$.

In most cases, yes, but it's also going to depend on your internet speed and the condition of your computer.  For a decently priced, vpn that does what it says, you shouldn't have to pay more than 10$ a month

No, some may be a bit complicated for complete non-tech-heads, but there's usually color diagrams and step by step instructions.  For super easy installation, we suggest 12vpn

We like Astrill, 12vpn, and Strongvpn. Head over to Mr. Vpn for full reviews and price comparisons.
