How to watch the Championship playoffs season from anywhere with a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the Championship action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.

Quick tips for streaming the playoffs using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming EPL matches may vary.
- Dacă nu vedeți locația dorită ca opțiune implicită pentru ExpressVPN, încercați să utilizați opțiunea „căutați după oraș sau țară”.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- Toți furnizorii de VPN pe care îi recomandăm au instrucțiuni utile pe site-ul lor principal pentru instalarea rapidă a VPN-ului pe router. În unele cazuri, în cazul serviciilor de televiziune inteligentă, după ce instalați aplicația sportivă a unei rețele de cablu, vi se va solicita să verificați un cod numeric sau să faceți clic pe un link trimis la adresa de e-mail înregistrată pentru televizorul inteligent. Aici va fi de ajutor și instalarea unui VPN pe router, deoarece ambele dispozitive vor părea să se afle în locația corectă.
- Și nu uitați, browserele pot dezvălui adesea o locație chiar dacă utilizați o rețea VPN, așa că asigurați-vă că utilizați un browser care pune accentul pe confidențialitate pentru a vă conecta la serviciile dvs. În mod normal, recomandăm Curajos.
