Streaming Abroad

Watch your own subscriptions while overseas

You are paying for the subscription. You just want to watch the show you were halfway through. But the moment you land somewhere new, the catalog changes or the app throws a proxy error. Frustrating, and completely avoidable.

The proxy error problem

Streaming libraries are set by region, and the platform decides your region from your IP address. Connect from another country and you get that country's catalog, or a block if the service thinks you are dodging the rules.

Why VPNs fail here

A commercial VPN seems like the answer until you try it. Streaming services keep detailed lists of VPN and data center address ranges, and they block them aggressively. That is the proxy error you keep hitting. More on the mechanics in why your VPN gets you blocked.

Bringing your home library with you

The clean solution is to appear as if you are streaming from home, because you effectively are. Route your traffic through your home connection and the platform sees your normal, trusted address. Your home catalog loads, and the proxy errors stop.

KeepMyHomeIP does this with a small device at home and one that travels with you. Every screen you carry, phone, laptop or tablet, gets the same home connection.

Set it and forget it

There is nothing to reconfigure each time you move. Plug in the travel unit, join its network, and your shows are there. It is the same setup that keeps your banking calm and your work connection steady. Questions about which device to pick? Ask us.
