Access your favourite shows with an HBO VPN

Game of Thrones fans have a long wait before HBO brings Westeros back to the screen. But between now and then, they’ll get plenty of new HBO content. From Watchmen to True Detective to John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight, you can count on HBO for programming you won’t find anywhere else. But when you travel abroad, you lose access to the HBO live stream and on-demand content. That’s where an HBO VPN can save the day.

A VPN routes your traffic through its secure servers, where it is then encrypted. Best of all, you can select the location of the server you want to connect through. You’ll then be granted an IP address from that country. So, say you live in the US and are traveling to the UK, and you can’t access HBO abroad, by connecting to a USA VPN server location you can ‘spoof’ your location and make it look as if you’re back home, even though you’re half a world away. This will then unblock HBO live streams.

How to stop your ISP from throttling HBO

Internet Service Providers have the power to slow video streams coming from services like HBO. This throttling comes at the expense of viewers who must put up with degraded picture quality and buffering.

Hotspot Shield VPN stops your ISP from throttling HBO by using military-grade encryption. All of the data flowing from our VPN servers to your devices, including the HBO live stream, is fully secure and impossible for your ISP to inspect. So if they don’t know you’re streaming HBO, they can’t throttle your connection.

How to watch HBO abroad

HBO is available in more than 50 countries outside the United States, but you have to be a pay-TV subscriber in those countries to get it. When American subscribers try to watch HBO abroad, they lose access to the premium movie channel.

Hotspot Shield lets you keep watching HBO wherever you travel. We operate thousands of VPN servers around the world, including host locations in dozens of US cities. Simply select one of our US-based servers to restore your HBO live stream. To watch HBO abroad, you need an HBO VPN.
