Use a VPN to watch Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo from outside your country
Dang it. If you’re out of the country for this game but have signed up to a domestic sports package, then annoyance alert: the broadcaster knows your location based on an IP address, which means you'll be blocked from viewing it. Not great if you've shelled out for the privilege of watching, in truth.
But help is at hand. Just get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get around it, assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. The VPN will make a private connection between whichever device you’re using and the internet, meaning your suppliers’ service can’t work out where you are – and all of the info is encrypted. Perfect.
