Away from home during the Giro d'Italia Women? A VPN will ensure you don't miss a moment.
It's summer holidays time for many but if you're abroad for some of the stages, that doesn't mean you have to miss out. Virtual Private Networks are internet security software that re-route your traffic through remote servers, effectively altering your device's location to appear to be in any country in the world. This means you can bypass the geo-restrictions you get on most streaming platforms, and enjoy your usual coverage no matter where you are.
VPNs are great for staying safe online, especially when using unfamiliar WiFi or data connections, and they can also offer better playback speeds.
To take advantage while it lasts, head to the deal, sign up to a qualifying two-year NordVPN plan, and you'll see the four months added to the discount. Once you've reached the end of the free trial period, after 30 days, your Amazon voucher will land in your inbox.
We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2.
