There are numerous ‘free VPNs’ with a few servers in the United States, but these will probably have already been blocked by most streaming platforms. </p> <p>Many free VPNs cap connection speeds or bandwidth. Others, like Atlas VPN, don’t allow freemium users access to streaming sites in the first place without paying a fee. </p> <p>Free VPNs are also inadvisable when it comes to privacy and online security. Some lack the ability to encrypt user data in the first place, and there’s always a chance that the service will sell your data to third parties without your knowledge.</p>" } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How does YouTube know I'm using a VPN?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "<p>As with many online services, YouTube will block the use of a VPN if it is detected. YouTube does so by checking the IP address used to connect to the service. If it recognizes the VPN IP, the user will be denied access to YouTube TV content. </p> <p>If you see the message “<em>youtube tv vpn proxy detected</em>”, try switching to a different server, or remove cookies from your device. YouTube TV has likely detected your actual location. </p>" } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Is it legal to use a VPN with YouTube TV?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "<p>Yes, you’re not going to get in trouble for using a VPN with YouTube TV. However, that doesn’t mean that you aren’t violating YouTube’s Terms of Service (after all, content is only supposed to be viewed within the US).</p> <p>In practice, the chances of the user being blocked by YouTube for using a VPN are low. The same goes for international platforms like BBC iPlayer. </p>" } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What are YouTube TV location requirements?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "<p>YouTube TV might ask you to verify your region or area via your device location permissions. This can be troublesome if you’re using a VPN with a mobile device, so you might have to use a GPS-spoofing app to ensure access with no issues. Otherwise, it might be easier to stick with a desktop device for the best streaming experience.</p>" } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Will a VPN for YouTube TV cause buffering?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "<p>Due to the nature of the encryption process, VPN services will probably reduce speeds to an extent while you’re connected. However, any difference in speeds is likely to be negligible if you’re using a premium provider such as the options we've listed above. </p> <p>For example, you’ll need a download speed of at least 3 Mbps for YouTube TV, while services like CyberGhost recorded average speeds of 392 Mbps in the United States during testing. This is quick enough for watching a live sports event, whether it's via a US-based server or somewhere else. </p>" } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I access other streaming services with a VPN?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "<p>Yes. When you connect to a VPN server back home in America, you get a valid IP address there. This allows you to log in and stream any of your usual services while on vacation. The important thing to remember is that leading American streaming services have already blocked most VPNs like YouTube TV, Hulu, and Netflix. This means that you have to pick your VPN provider carefully.</p> <p>The VPNs we have recommended in this guide all have US servers that have been tested to access popular streaming services. That said, each service may differ slightly, so you may want to check its individual review – or test it yourself using its money-back guarantee to find out more. </p> <p>Below, we have included a list of popular US streaming services that you should be able to access with a VPN:</p> <ol> <li>Netflix</li> <li>Amazon Prime Video</li> <li>Hulu</li> <li>Disney+</li> <li>HBO Max</li> <li>Apple TV+</li> <li>Peacock</li> <li>YouTube TV</li> <li>Sling TV</li> <li>CBS All Access (now Paramount+)</li> <li>ESPN+</li> <li>NBC</li> <li>ABC</li> <li>FOX</li> <li>The CW</li> <li>Discovery+</li> <li>Showtime</li> <li>Starz</li> <li>AMC+</li> <li>Tubi TV</li> </ol>" } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I watch YouTube TV at work with a VPN?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "<p>Yes. If your employer has blocked YouTube TV, Netflix, Hulu, or any other streaming platform, you can regain access using a VPN. When you connect to a VPN server, you appear to be outside of the work network. This allows you to log in and use your streaming services, social media accounts, games, or anything else that has been blocked by your work's Wi-Fi.</p> <p>The same is true if you encounter blocks in school, on public WiFi, or anywhere else. A VPN will let you bypass those blocks to regain access to any service that interests you. Best of all, a VPN provides encryption to stop local network administrators from knowing what you do online.</p> <p>This encryption provides watertight privacy no matter where you use the internet, which allows you to watch YouTube TV or any other service without fear of being found out.</p>" } } ] } </script> <LINK REL="alternate" TITLE="Bleeping Computer's News"

access YouTube TV from anywhere in the world, allowing the user to watch live TV from 100+ channels. Here’s what you need to know.</strong><img alt="watch youtube tv abroad vpn" height="900" src="https://www.bleepstatic.com/images/news/u/1274444/How%20to%20watch%20YouTube%20TV%20from%20anywhere%20with%20a%20VPN.jpg" width="1600"></p> <p>If you’re not in the United States, you’ll find that YouTube TV is geo-blocked. In other words, you’ll only be able to watch YouTube TV content while you’re in the country. If you try to sign in or sign up from abroad, you’ll see the following error message: <em>“It looks like you're outside of the United States. YouTube TV is only available in the US.”</em></p> <p>However, <strong>you will be able to watch YouTube TV from abroad by using a VPN</strong>. It works by assigning the user a temporary IP address depending on the server location you’ve selected. By connecting to a server in the United States, the user will be able to access YouTube TV while on vacation or business abroad.</p> <p>As well as the ability to access various international streaming services, a VPN is great for hassle-free online banking from abroad. You’ll be able to use the internet with improved privacy, blocking trackers, your ISP, or even the government from keeping tabs on what you’re up to. </p> <p>Before we get into the guide properly, here’s a brief roundup of our <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/vpn/guides/best-vpn/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">top VPNs</a> for streaming YouTube TV from anywhere.</p> <p><strong>Best VPNs for watching YouTube TV:</strong></p> <ol><li><a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/cgo/nordvpn-streaming/p/watch-youtube-tv-abroad-vpn/l/list/" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>NordVPN</strong></a><strong>: Our top pick for YouTube TV.</strong> High speeds from US servers, excellent streaming support, SmartPlay built in by default, NordLynx protocol, and a 30-day risk-free money-back guarantee.</li> <li><a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/cgo/surfshark-streaming/p/watch-youtube-tv-abroad-vpn/l/list/" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Surfshark</strong></a>: Unlimited device connections, will access YouTube TV and more in the US, various affordable deals, and advanced features include Camouflage and No-Borders Mode. </li> <li><a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/cgo/expressvpn-streaming/p/watch-youtube-tv-abroad-vpn/l/list/" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>ExpressVPN</strong></a>: Top speeds and streaming capabilities, one of the best-known providers on the market, and proprietary Lightway protocol. </li> <li><a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/cgo/atlasvpn/p/watch-youtube-tv-abroad-vpn/l/list/" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Atlas VPN</strong></a>: US-based provider that is ideal for YouTube TV.

logging policy audited by a reputable third party (such as PWC).

A collection of 5,500+ servers in 60+ countries is a good spread, with 1,900+ in the US that are found in the following cities:</p> <ul><li>Atlanta, Buffalo, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Miami, New York, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, St. Louis, and Manassas</li> </ul><p>If you’d prefer, you’ll also be able to get a dedicated <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/vpn/guides/us-ip-address/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">IP address in the United States</a>. This is a personal static IP address that will solely belong to you and can be used to access lots of regional services with minimal fuss. A dedicated IP address does come at an additional cost to the basic subscription fee.</p> <p>The custom NordLynx protocol ensures high speeds while streaming, and SmartPlay is implemented by default in all NordVPN apps. SmartPlay uses Smart DNS to bypass VPN blocking, ensuring your real IP remains hidden. As a consequence, it can access almost any streaming site you can think of.</p> <p>In the US alone, it works with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, HBO Max, ESPN, NBC, ABC, CBS, and Hulu. It's a great choice for streaming sports, offering consistent access with no fuss. </p> <p>Based in Panama, Nord is audited, and there are apps for Windows, Android, macOS, iOS, and Linux. Also, NordVPN's <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/nordvpn-makes-its-meshnet-private-tunnel-free-for-everyone/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Meshnet private tunnel feature</a> for Windows, macOS, and Linux is now free for everyone, including users who do not have a subscription to NordVPN. This allows users to create private, encrypted tunnels between devices they trust to pass network traffic.</p> <p>One downside is that its servers were hacked in 2019, as attackers stole and leaked the private keys associated with certificates used to secure their web servers and VPN configuration files.

However, this is only the case if you choose the right provider. That's why we evaluated all of the providers using our <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/vpn/guides/vpn-testing-methodology/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">VPN testing methodology</a>, so you can make an informed decision about the VPN that's right for you. We considered the following criteria:</p> <ul></ul><ul><li><strong>Streaming: </strong>The most obvious place to start would be the ability to access YouTube TV from abroad. It’s also worth factoring in additional streaming services, such as US Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Hulu, and more. We’ve predominantly focused on the United States in this instance.</li> <li><strong>Speeds: </strong>YouTube TV is one of the few platforms to allow for streaming in 4K (with a 4K Plus subscription). The VPN must offer speedy connections from US servers.</li> <li><strong>Apps and usability: </strong>At the very least, we expect apps for iOS, Android, Windows, and <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/vpn/guides/best-vpn-mac/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">macOS</a>. Ideally, the VPN will offer support for a range of streaming devices compatible with YouTube TV. </li> <li><strong>Security: </strong>The provider must support powerful encryption and additional security features.</li> <li><strong>Customer support: </strong>We check out the quality of customer service, including live chat and email support. </li> </ul><h3>Bonus points</h3> <p>As well as the criteria above, our top three VPN companies provide all of the following:</p> <ul><li><strong>Providers who have consistently pushed VPN technology forward. </strong>NordVPN and ExpressVPN bucked industry trends by creating their own unique connection protocols, while Surfshark was one of the first (along with CyberGhost) to offer tools like antivirus software and ad-blocking directly in its apps. </li> </ul><p>Here are some of the more unique features each of our top picks has to offer:</p> <ul><li><a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/cgo/nordvpn-streaming/p/watch-youtube-tv-abroad-vpn/l/list/" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>NordVPN</strong></a><strong>: Tor over VPN servers and MeshNet for creating secure point-to-point connections</strong></li> <li><a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/cgo/surfshark-streaming/p/watch-youtube-tv-abroad-vpn/l/list/" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Surfshark</strong></a>: A GUI for <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/vpn/guides/best-vpn-linux/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Linux</a>, private search engine, and rotating IP addresses</li> <li><a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/cgo/expressvpn-streaming/p/watch-youtube-tv-abroad-vpn/l/list/" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>ExpressVPN</strong></a>: A custom app for routers and parallel connection technology for faster access</li> </ul><p>The VPN <strong>must not log identifying data on customers</strong> and must have had its <strong>logging policy audited by a reputable third party</strong> (such as PWC). This ensures that VPNs which claim to adhere to certain practices actually do so. The VPN must have been through a <strong>technical security audit by a third party</strong>. As opposed to a logging policy audit, this tests the security of the VPN product itself.</p> <p>They are <strong>based in countries not part of any known intelligence alliance</strong>. YouTube TV might be limited to the United States, but the ideal VPN will be located elsewhere. A huge number of countries share intelligence amongst themselves. The best known-such alliance is The 14 Eyes (officially called SIGINT Seniors Europe, or SSEUR) which includes the UK, USA, Germany, France, Spain, and nine others, though other alliances (such as Maximator and the Afghanistan SIGINT Coalition) also exist, and it’s likely there are more partnerships that we are not aware of. </p> <p>Diskless infrastructure is another must to make it in our top three providers. While the data stored on a VPN server should be minimal, it could, theoretically, be accessed if the servers were seized or hacked. Moving processes to RAM means that no information can be physically taken from servers and it is wiped on shutdown. It can also easily be wiped as a part of regular security procedures.</p> <h2>Can I sign up for YouTube TV from abroad?</h2> <p>Signing up for YouTube TV from abroad presents challenges due to geographical restrictions on the service. Even if you are a US national temporarily located overseas, attempting to sign up with the correct details will often result in an error message. This is due to Oregon locks that are imposed to ensure that only users inside the US can stream premium YouTube TV content.</p> <p>The best solution to this problem is to use one of the VPNs in this guide. By connecting to a VPN server located in the United States, you can conceal your actual location, making it appear as though you are accessing the service from within the US. This enables you to sign up or log in to YouTube TV as if you were physically present in the United States.</p> <p>The only caveat is that if you don't already have an account - you may need a valid US payment method to sign up. YouTube TV's payment processing system may not accept non-US credit, debit card, or a PayPal account that is linked to a US address. If you have access to these payment methods, you can easily subscribe to YouTube TV from abroad with a VPN.</p> <p>For those without US-based payment options, certain virtual card services may offer a solution. Virtual prepaid cards or virtual debit cards, for instance, can provide you with a virtual US-based payment method that may be accepted by YouTube TV's payment system.</p> <p>Alternatively, you can explore the option of YouTube TV gift cards. These gift cards can be purchased from reputable sources and can be redeemed online to get an account without needing to provide your payment information to YouTube TV.</p> <h2>What can I watch on YouTube TV?</h2> <p><img alt="YouTube channels" height="617" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" width="1051" data-src="https://www.bleepstatic.com/images/news/u/1274444/channels.jpg" class="b-lazy"></p> <p>YouTube TV contains content from a number of popular major US networks including ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, AMC, HGTV, and TNT. The Spanish Plan offers access to 30+ extra channels such as ESPN Deportes and Univision.</p> <p>There are currently over 100 channels offered by YouTube TV that may differ depending on your ZIP code. </p> <p> </p><h2 class="no-toc">YouTube TV VPN: FAQs</h2> <h3>Can I download content on YouTube TV?</h3> <p></p><p>Yes, depending on the YouTube TV plan you’ve signed up with. The <a href="https://support.google.com/youtubetv/answer/10383365?hl=en#zippy=%2Cdownload-recordings-to-your-mobile-device-watch-offline" rel="nofollow noopener">4K Plus add-on</a> allows users to view recordings offline using either a phone or tablet.</p> <h3>Will a free VPN work with YouTube TV?</h3> <p></p><p>It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to find a free provider that has what it takes to access YouTube TV with no issues. There are numerous ‘free VPNs’ with a few servers in the United States, but these will probably have already been blocked by most streaming platforms. </p> <p>Many free VPNs cap connection speeds or bandwidth. Others, like Atlas VPN, don’t allow freemium users access to streaming sites in the first place without paying a fee. </p> <p>Free VPNs are also inadvisable when it comes to privacy and online security. Some lack the ability to encrypt user data in the first place, and there’s always a chance that the service will sell your data to third parties without your knowledge.</p> <h3>How does YouTube know I'm using a VPN?</h3> <p></p><p>As with many online services, YouTube will block the use of a VPN if it is detected. YouTube does so by checking the IP address used to connect to the service. If it recognizes the VPN IP, the user will be denied access to YouTube TV content. </p> <p>If you see the message “<em>youtube tv vpn proxy detected</em>”, try switching to a different server, or remove cookies from your device. YouTube TV has likely detected your actual location. </p> <h3>Is it legal to use a VPN with YouTube TV?</h3> <p></p><p>Yes, you’re not going to get in trouble for using a VPN with YouTube TV. However, that doesn’t mean that you aren’t violating YouTube’s Terms of Service (after all, content is only supposed to be viewed within the US).</p> <p>In practice, the chances of the user being blocked by YouTube for using a VPN are low. The same goes for international platforms like BBC iPlayer. </p> <h3>What are YouTube TV location requirements?</h3> <p></p><p>YouTube TV might ask you to verify your region or area via your device location permissions. This can be troublesome if you’re using a VPN with a mobile device, so you might have to use a GPS-spoofing app to ensure access with no issues. Otherwise, it might be easier to stick with a desktop device for the best streaming experience.</p> <h3>Will a VPN for YouTube TV cause buffering?</h3> <p></p><p>Due to the nature of the encryption process, VPN services will probably reduce speeds to an extent while you’re connected. However, any difference in speeds is likely to be negligible if you’re using a premium provider such as the options we've listed above. </p> <p>For example, you’ll need a download speed of at least 3 Mbps for YouTube TV, while services like CyberGhost recorded average speeds of 392 Mbps in the United States during testing. This is quick enough for watching a live sports event, whether it's via a US-based server or somewhere else. </p> <h3>Can I access other streaming services with a VPN?</h3> <p></p><p>Yes. When you connect to a VPN server back home in America, you get a valid IP address there. This allows you to log in and stream any of your usual services while on vacation. The important thing to remember is that leading American streaming services have already blocked most VPNs like YouTube TV, Hulu, and Netflix. This means that you have to pick your VPN provider carefully.</p> <p>The VPNs we have recommended in this guide all have US servers that have been tested to access popular streaming services. That said, each service may differ slightly, so you may want to check its individual review – or test it yourself using its money-back guarantee to find out more. </p> <p>Below, we have included a list of popular US streaming services that you should be able to access with a VPN:</p> <ol><li>Netflix</li> <li>Amazon Prime Video</li> <li>Hulu</li> <li>Disney+</li> <li>HBO Max</li> <li>Apple TV+</li> <li>Peacock</li> <li>YouTube TV</li> <li>Sling TV</li> <li>CBS All Access (now Paramount+)</li> <li>ESPN+</li> <li>NBC</li> <li>ABC</li> <li>FOX</li> <li>The CW</li> <li>Discovery+</li> <li>Showtime</li> <li>Starz</li> <li>AMC+</li> <li>Tubi TV</li> </ol><h3>Can I watch YouTube TV at work with a VPN?</h3> <p></p><p>Yes. If your employer has blocked YouTube TV, Netflix, Hulu, or any other streaming platform, you can regain access using a VPN. When you connect to a VPN server, you appear to be outside of the work network. This allows you to log in and use your streaming services, social media accounts, games, or anything else that has been blocked by your work's Wi-Fi.</p> <p>The same is true if you encounter blocks in school, on public WiFi, or anywhere else. A VPN will let you bypass those blocks to regain access to any service that interests you. Best of all, a VPN provides encryption to stop local network administrators from knowing what you do online.</p> <p>This encryption provides watertight privacy no matter where you use the internet, which allows you to watch YouTube TV or any other service without fear of being found out.</p> <div class="privacy-alert ct066-alert ct066-v2-c-button" data-ga="CT066 - Privacy Alert"> <div class="question"> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="image"> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" alt="Question mark icon" data-src="https://www.bleepstatic.com/content/site/question.png" class="b-lazy"></div> </div> <div class="answer"> <h3>Did you know</h3> <p class="">The following information is available to any site you visit:</p> </div> </div> <div class="internet-info-wrapper"> <div class="internet-info"> <div class="internet-info-bx"> <div class="title"> <p>Your IP Address:</p> </div> <div class="answer"> <p> </p> </div> </div> <div class="internet-info-bx"> <div class="title"> <p>Your Location: </p> </div> <div class="answer"> <p> </p> </div> </div> <div class="internet-info-bx"> <div class="title"> <p>Your Internet Provider: </p> </div> <div class="answer"> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p><b>BLEEPINGCOMPUTER RECOMMENDS:</b></p> <p> Using a VPN will hide these details and protect your privacy.
