How to unblock Instagram for free
SAVE 49%: Unblock Instagram from any location with ExpressVPN. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £81.38 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.
Imagine for a moment that you didn't have access to Instagram. The world would stop spinning, right? We know this is a scary thought, but it could really happen.
Instagram might be one of the most popular social media sites in the world, but some countries do block access as their governments want to control what images are shared. Many offices and schools might also block access to Instagram, and depending on where you live, Instagram’s music feature may not be fully functional. The only way to reliably get around these restrictions is with a VPN.
VPNs can unblock online platforms and services by running your data through an encrypted tunnel, hiding your real IP address, and connecting you to a secure server in another location. This process tricks sites like Instagram into thinking you are connecting from an approved location. It might sound complicated, but it's actually really quick and easy:
Sign up for a VPN
Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)
Open up the app and connect to a server in a location that supports Instagram
Connect to Instagram from anywhere in the world
ExpressVPN remains the top choice for bypassing online blockades due to its impressive connection speeds, powerful encryption, intuitive app and interface, reliable live support, and up to five simultaneous connections. ExpressVPN also has a robust privacy policy, which is absolutely vital. It's this that makes sure your data remains secure at all times.
A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £81.38 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.
