How to access geo blocked news sites safely

[Bokran]

I am a journalist and I currently travel a lot to countries where internet censorship is very high and many international news platforms are completely blocked by the government. I need to read global articles and access my research tools daily, but I am worried about my digital safety while working from local hotels. I want to use a privacy app to bypass these blocks, but I am afraid the government might detect that I am using an encryption tool. How do I choose a safe server node that can hide the fact that I am using a secure tunnel?
