VPNs can also serve a very useful purpose if you subscribe to a global streaming platform such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, HBO Max or sports streaming specialist DAZN. Yes, these streaming giants are available in regions across the planet, but their content libraries can change from country to country due to rights reasons. So the shows and films you have saved on your Netflix 'To watch' list in Belgium may not necessarily be available when you cross the border to Germany or France, or disembark your flight in the U.S., Canada or Australia. A VPN is again your key to streaming

Belgium's biggest public TV channels can all be watched at home with ease thanks to their online platforms and apps. So that includes public stations like the Flemish VRT through VRT Max, French-speaking RTBF channels through RTBF Auvio, and German-language BRF (also on RTBF Auvio). That's as well as the ability to stream commercial television networks online via VTM Go and RTL Play. Effectively, if there's an online streaming service or app that you're used to watching for free or through your subscription in Belgium, having one of the best streaming VPNs should allow you to carry on watching

It's a similar issue in Australia. Sometimes, British television content makes its way over to the other side of the world, but there are no plans for "Carl Frampton: On Probation" to head Down Under yet. Again, Britbox may be an option further down the line. If you’re a Brit working or on holiday Down Under and want to keep using your usual U.K. streaming services, you can still catch the show with a VPN like NordVPN.
