Watch X2O Trofee Hofstade from anywhere
What if you’re travelling at the moment and find the feed you’d usually watch geo-restricted? A VPN is a simple solution.
A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a piece of software that sets your IP address to appear as if it’s in a different country. Provided it conforms with your broadcaster’s Ts&Cs, you can therefore watch the streaming services you usually enjoy back home, and it also comes with added internet security benefits.
Our colleagues over at TechRadar know a thing or two about VPNs, and they rate NordVPN as the best VPN in the world right now.
