What if you’re away from home for the game, and your usual streaming service is geo-restricted? The good news is that there is a solution.
A VPN (Virtual Personal Network) can help rugby fans on the move avoid geo-blocking issues by allowing you to change your IP address. The result? Making your laptop, smartphone or tablet appear to be in a different country, allowing you to log on to your streaming platform of choice as if you were back at home. VPNs also have the added benefit of improving your internet security when you’re online.
