Contractor UK Bulletin Board - View Single Post - How can I appear to be browsing from the US?

I have a software offer to buy X piece of software for $110 but when I click on the offer it redirects me to a UK-based sales site which tries to charge me £90.

Is it possible to "spoof" my location and appear to be browsing from the US?

I think that ClientCo's VPN connection goes via the US, so is there some way I can tell my browser to use the VPN connection and not the LAN connection? Some sort of tunnel?

I hope what I want to do is clear even if the explanation and terminology may be off!

TIA.
