How to unblock and watch HBO Max with a VPN
SAVE 49%: Access your HBO subscription from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £83.90 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.
Your HBO Max subscription is not able to travel around the world with you, so if you want to sign in from one of the many countries not included on this list, you'll need to use a streaming-friendly VPN to unblock and watch HBO Max.
With a VPN, you can hide your real IP address and connect to a secure server in a location that supports HBO Max. Then you won't be blocked when you next attempt to sign in to your favourite streaming platform, because HBO Max will think you are based in an approved country. It's a simple trick, but it's effective.
The process is not as simple if you don't already have a subscription to HBO Max. Most of HBO's leading shows are also available on other platforms, but it also has plenty of exclusives that you can't find elsewhere. If you desperately want to subscribe to HBO Max from a location that doesn't support the service, you'll need to follow these steps:
Open up the VPN of your choice on your iOS/Android device and connect to a server in the U.S.
Create an Apple ID/Google Play account
Register your account on the app store
Download and install the HBO Max app
Create a new account in the HBO Max app with your email address and password
Pay with your UK PayPal account
There are a few VPNs out there that can handle this task, but ExpressVPN is probably the best for streaming. Users get strong connection speeds, powerful levels of encryption, and access to thousands of secure servers located all around the world. You can also connect up to five devices simultaneously with the same account.
A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £83.90 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time. This plan also includes a year of free unlimited cloud backup and a generous 30-day money-back guarantee.
