Traveling and blocked from your usual streaming apps? A VPN can help you access the services you already use while abroad. It routes your connection through a server in your home country, so your device appears to be back there.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favourite.

3. Sit back and watch. Open your streaming service and sign in as normal.
