SAVE 49%: ExpressVPN is the best service for unblocking your Max subscription. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £82.82 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.


The big news in the world of streaming is that Max is the "new" service on the block, combining content from HBO Max and Discovery+. That's exciting news for subscribers, but there's a catch: Max is not available all around the world, so 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.

Fortunately, the process is quick and easy with a streaming-friendly VPN.

How to unblock Max

VPNs can hide your real IP address and connect you to a secure server in another country, meaning you can access streaming sites from around the world. This might sound complicated, but you can bypass Max's geo-restrictions and unblock the service in just a few simple steps:

  1. Sign up to a VPN

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

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

  4. Watch Max from anywhere in the world

ExpressVPN is the top choice when it comes to unblocking streaming sites. Users get strong connection speeds, powerful levels of encryption, and an intuitive app. ExpressVPN also lets you connect up to five devices simultaneously with the same account, which is handy if you rock a lot of tech.

How to unblock Max for free

The best VPNs are not free, but most do offer free trial and money-back guarantees. By using these offers, you can unblock your Max subscription and then recover your investment when you return to a supported location. This obviously isn't a long-term solution, but it works well if you're travelling and want to watch your favourite shows from abroad.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £82.82 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. You can use the money-back guarantee to unblock Max for free from anywhere in the world.
