SAVE 49%: A 15-month subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £5.31 per month as of Oct. 25, saving you 49% on list price.


We hate to break this to you, but there are absolutely loads of shows and films on American Prime Video that aren't available in the UK. Geo-restrictions are to blame, and the only way of bypassing these blockades is to use a VPN.

Most of the leading VPN providers claim to be able to unblock the leading streaming sites like Prime Video, Netflix, and Disney+, but ExpressVPN is probably the best. ExpressVPN reliably unblocks Prime Video with super-fast connection speeds that make streaming easy.

Accessing American Prime Video is easy with ExpressVPN. All you need to do is connect to a secure VPN server location in the U.S. and log in to your Prime Video account. This should trick Prime Video into thinking you are based in the U.S., meaning that you can watch all of that previously hidden content.

A 15-month subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for just £5.31 per month as of Oct. 25, saving you 49% on list price. This plan includes three bonus months for free and a 30-day money-back guarantee. The guarantee means that you can try ExpressVPN without fear of being tied down to a long contract.
