I made use of Urban VPN * – which is free as a Chrome extension. See instructions below, took me a few minutes once VPN was connected. (Another alternative is HMA VPN *).
Instructions:
1. Go to crunchyroll.com * and create an account (You can use an existing account or register a new one. No VPN is necessary for this).
2. Clear cache and cookies or use the incognito tab.
3. Log back in and add your Fee Free credit card with your Canada Postcode within Account Settings > Payment Info.
4. Connect to Lebanon VPN. (VPN is ONLY required for upgrading to Premium – after that, Crunchyroll can be watched without a VPN)
5. Upgrade to Crunchyroll Premium for 800,000.00 (Ensure you select “SKIP FREE TRIAL”).
6. During checkout, add your Fee Free credit card again when you reach the payment screen and this time use a random Lebanon Postcode. (I used 1450909).
7. Confirm the purchase of the Mega Fan Premium Subscription for 1 Year.
Note: You do not have to cancel immediately, you can let the subscription continue and the same rate is usually charged after a year. If you do wish to cancel after signing up, there are no cancellation fees and once done, your subscription will expire one day before your renewal date, reverting to a free account afterward.
