These streaming sites have different libraries which are not available in every region, for instance; Hulu is geo-restricted outside USA but the citizens who want to access Hulu in India can access by using the smart ways.
In this article, we are going to share the 3 smart ways to enter the geo-restricted streaming world:
- A Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Where so many people are surfing, it’s important to keep your online activity private and your data protected. Luckily, that’s exactly what a VPN is for. A virtual private network encrypts the connection between your device and the internet for complete digital security, and that is how you can easily enter to a geo-restricted streaming world as VPN changes your real IP address and faking it in a region where you want to access. So, the citizens don’t need to worry! They can easily access channels and platforms like Hulu in India, South Africa, UK, Australia and anywhere where they are geo-restricted by subscribing to a premium VPN. And that is not enough, if you have tended to send any sensitive information through internet then this service is a must for you.
- Smart DNS
Smart DNS is a technology based on using your DNS (Domain Name Server) to unblock geo-restricted sites and services. This is the second smart way to access geo-restricted streaming channels. It’s somewhat similar to VPN, as its servers route your internet traffic through a remote server to hide your real IP address and physical location. However, Smart DNS only directs a part of your traffic – namely, your DNS queries – to its servers.
- Proxy
Many people get confused in a proxy and a VPN, a proxy server is a bridge between you and the rest of the internet. This is the third smart way. Normally, when you use your browser to surf the internet, you connect directly to the website you’re visiting. Instead, proxies communicate with websites on your behalf. For instance; some websites cracks the internet down by their caches and cookies but proxy enable us to directly enter the streaming world.
