Wondered how to unblock TV shows when you're abroad?
Have you tried watching foreign TV shows online and got a "not available in your country" message? The secret is very simple: you need a VPN. Le VPN reroutes your connection through a server in the country where the show streams, so the broadcaster sees a local viewer and lets you watch. In three easy steps - sign up, install the app, and pick a server - your favorite programming is back within reach, wherever you happen to live or travel.
Beat censorship with a VPN
Have you ever been traveling abroad and wanted to access news and sporting events from your home country, but found that the country you were visiting had strict censorship restrictions? By leveraging a Virtual Private Network, you'll never find yourself in a situation like this again.
Thanks to the technology's ability to let users route their Internet traffic through servers located in other countries, you can watch BBC iPlayer and other online foreign channels from different regions quickly and easily. You can unblock your favorite television channels in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France no matter where you happen to be, and toggle between content in different regions and countries at will.
Live sport, without the blackouts
If a person in the United States was trying to watch a football game that was blocked due to blackout restrictions in their region, he or she could use a VPN and appear to be accessing the Internet from England - and now be able to watch the game online. The Sochi Olympics served as the perfect example: by using our VPN technology, users were able to watch the Olympics live on various networks depending on their preferences. Because of the time difference, curling aficionados in the United States could easily access live feeds from the comfort of their homes. Connect to a server where the event is being broadcast and the blackout simply doesn't apply to you.
Never miss a show again
You can use a VPN to unblock TV shows that otherwise aren't accessible on your country's Internet. This is particularly useful for people who live outside of the United States but want to watch the latest episodes of their favorite shows, either live or replayed from the channel's website. It's just as handy for newshounds who want to access news shows from the BBC, regional NBC affiliates or unblock TF1 outside of France. Rather than being kept in the dark about certain areas of the country or the world, VPN technology lets you access newscasts and entertainment from all corners of the globe, whenever is most convenient.
