A note on VPNs: Some readers use a Virtual Private Network to access geo-restricted streams from abroad. While this is technically possible, using a VPN to circumvent broadcaster geo-restrictions may breach the terms of service of the platform in question. This guide does not endorse or recommend that approach — always verify the rules of the service you are using.
