Watching while abroad — VPN basics
If you’ll be traveling when the new episodes air, many viewers use a virtual private network to access their home streaming services. A VPN lets your device appear as though it’s on a local network in your home country, which can allow you to open the apps and libraries you subscribe to at home.
- Choose a reputable, paid VPN provider with stable streaming performance and strong privacy protections.
- Install the VPN app on the device you’ll use to watch and sign in before travel.
- Connect to a server in your home country, then open the streaming app or website to view the episode as usual.
Be aware that using a VPN may conflict with a service’s terms of use and local laws. Only access content in ways that comply with the streaming service’s policies and applicable regulations.
Quick viewing tips
New to the show or returning after a break? A few practical points:
