Hey guys,
I know everyone in India is excited that GFN has officially "launched" here via waitlist, but the queues are absolutely insane (I saw 120,000+).
I found a workaround that lets you create a standard GFN free account instantly without waiting, and I wanted to share it with the community here.
The Basic Idea: GFN blocks Indian IPs right now because they want us in the queue. You just need a specific GFN partner region account.
The Steps (TL;DR):
Download a decent VPN (I used Proton vpn and set the region to Nederlands]).
While the VPN is on, go to the official NVIDIA GeForce Now registration page. (Make sure you are NOT on the Indian partner site).
Create a new account. The server should register you in that region. Select the 'Free' tier.
Once the account is activated, TURN OFF THE VPN. (Important for low latency!)
Launch the GFN app on your PC or Android and log in with your new account.

I just made a quick, clean video tutorial showing this process visually step-by-step for anyone who wants to see the clicks.
