How to stream online
Why stream the Rugby World Cup with a VPN?
Using a VPN, or virtual private network, helps keep your data secure and private. It encrypts your connection, shielding your online activity and location from others on the internet. This is why a VPN lets you watch geo-blocked shows and events while you’re traveling.
Watch from anywhere
If you’re traveling, you can use a VPN to unblock content, access your streaming accounts, and watch the shows you normally do when you’re at home.
High-speed streaming
Internet service providers sometimes throttle bandwidth on their networks. But if you’re connected to a VPN, you can always access the highest network speeds.
Stay private
WiFi networks aren’t always private. But when you connect to a VPN, network administrators and internet service providers can’t see your encrypted traffic.
