Watch South Africa v Japan from anywhere
You can take the rugby with you, even if you’re travelling overseas this weekend, thanks to the wonders of a VPN (or Virtual Private Network).
These handy pieces of software have the useful ability to change your IP address, making your laptop, smartphone or tablet appear to be back home. This means you can avoid the geo-blocking restrictions that might otherwise prevent you from watching your usual streamers when you’re in another country. A good VPN will also improve your online security, which is great for peace of mind when you’re using an unfamiliar Wi-Fi network in a bar or hotel.
There’s no shortage of VPNs available, but the tech experts at TechRadar and Tom’s Guide both believe that NordVPN is – like the Springboks – world number one, thanks to its top-notch streaming and security features. They’re also offering a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a great deal in time for Black Friday…
