Watching television is boring and time-consuming. Not only do you have to schedule your day to catch up your favourite series, you are also forced to watch unnecessary adverts right in the midst of the show. You can make this a thing of the past by just going online and catching up on your favourite show on demand at your own convenience. There is one problem though! Most of these sites such as Hulu, BBC, Pandora do not work outside US or UK. But if you use a good VPN provider you can overcome this hurdle with just a few clicks.

A virtual private network (VPN) creates a secure environment for you by encrypting data that is sent from and to your computer. Another feature of a VPN is that it hides your IP address from other servers and this is what VPN providers can use to grant you access to many video-on-demand sites that are available out there. Take HideIPVPN as an example. As the name suggests, this VPN provider first hides your IP and then uses its own servers based in US, UK, Germany or Canada to make it look like your request for watching a video has originated from one of these countries.

It is natural to think that achieving such a data transfer would require strong technical expertise and some heavy infrastructure on your part. While, this is true, HideIPVPN have done most of this ground work for you and all you need to do is download their small connection software that lets you switch between servers of different countries and even choose different data transfer protocols in a matter of a few clicks. For those who understand data transfer protocols and are proud users of torrent software clients, HideIPVPN offers 5 VPN protocols such as SSTP, OpenVPN, SoftEther, PPTP, and L2TP and also download torrents without any download limits or caps on bandwidth. Not only this, HideIPVPN will also encrypt your email, your instant messages and even your VoIP data such as Skype and Google Hangout bypassing any throttling that your internet provider might be implementing and not keeping any logs at all.

Watching content from sites based in the US, UK or other countries is made easier thanks to the SmartDNS services that HideIPVPN has to offer. The good news about SmartDNS is that along with gaining access to sites, you are not bound to one device since it works with equal ease on your PC, Smart TV, tablet, gaming console etc. and has no limits on the number of devices you could be using as long as they are all sharing the same IP address. HideIPVPN offers SmartDNS alone on a monthly billing cycle of $4.95 or $38.95 annually.

Using HideIPVPN costs $9.99 on a monthly cycle or $83.99 for a year which includes access to US, UK, Netherlands and Germany servers along with free SmartDNS and Proxy services. Alternatively, if you are looking for VPN server access for a single location like US or UK or Canada, you can order these Premium VPN packages for $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year. HideIPVPN accepts payments using credit cards, PayPal, AliPay, Google Wallet, Yandex money and even Bitcoin to start off and comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. Your account activates instantly so you can start using this VPN right now. Or if you would like to try out the VPN, there is a 7 day free trial account for SmartDNS services that you can try out before signing up!
