SAVE 49%: ExpressVPN is the best service for accessing your HBO Max subscription from anywhere in the world. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £85.41 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.


This might seem unfair, but your HBO Max subscription is not able to travel around the world with you. If you want to sign in from one of the many countries not included on this list, you'll need to use a VPN to connect and start streaming.

There are plenty of streaming-friendly VPNs that can do this job, but ExpressVPN might be the best. To bypass HBO Max's geo-restrictions with this high-speed service, you simply need to follow these steps:

  1. Sign up to ExpressVPN (you can get an extra three months for free with a 12-month plan)

  2. Download the ExpressVPN app to your device of choice (ExpressVPN has apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the ExpressVPN app and connect to a server in a country that supports HBO Max

If you don’t already have an account with HBO Max, you'll need to create a new account using an American credit card or a gift card. This process is obviously more complicated:

  1. Open up ExpressVPN on your iOS/Android device and connect to a server in the U.S.

  2. Create an Apple ID/Google Play account

  3. Register your account on the app store

  4. Download and install the HBO Max app

  5. Create a new account in the HBO Max app with your email address and password

  6. Pay with your PayPal account

ExpressVPN is the top choice for unblocking and watching HBO Max from anywhere in the world. 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 £85.41 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.
