I'm in Canada, so they don't allow me to join. I also hold a European passport. I was thinking of going to my embassy to get my passport that is allowed to pass the ID verification. But no idea if they would do address or not verification also. Seems like this won't work in the end maybe? If it does, and doesn't require address I'd be okay. I wouldn't use a VPN but a VPS.

I wouldn't risk. Even with VPS, those exchanges have other ways of gathering your data in the background, especially to do with your location just by looking at their privacy policy.

Let me quote for you this interesting bit
