What is a Virtual Private Network and how can I use it to watch games live on Rangers TV?

A virtual private network essentially takes your current network, let's say for example that its BT Hub with IP 89.90.192.90 Location Glasgow Scotland. and virtually moves your network to another country with a new IP address. For example mines is currently 109.201.152.234 location Netherlands.

How is this useful?

In the UK the club aren't allowed to be broadcast matches live to people within the UK, it is now more than ever worth watching live on Rangers TV since they upgraded to full HD for this season. By using a VPN we are able to move our location and encrypt our traffic so our internet service provider (ISP) and government have no idea what websites we visit or from where. As long as we use our VPN there is no way that anyone can prove that we aren't watching it from outside the UK on let's say a holiday and because a VPN will encrypt everything you do there is literally no proof of what you are doing at an ISP and FBI level.

Complexity of a VPN

You download a program from the internet (can be paid or free) which encrypts your traffic (anything you do on the internet) as well as hiding your location by connecting to there server which makes your location appear to be elsewhere. This is done through advanced encription standards (AES-256) with some sort of Blowfish Handsake (key to decrypt data at other side) basically a VPN will allow you to do anything online without anyone being able to see what you are doing and this is why it is useful.

With a VPN you can purchase the match and watch it live from whatever location you are independent of rules. Is it legal? Yes VPN's are 100% legal but whether this method is or not I can't imagine there is any way that they could prove any wrong doing and the only people who would chase you for this would be BT or Sky since they own the rights but they won't have the information on you ever to be able to do such a thing as people like myself use VPN's daily to hide all activity from the government and agencies in general. Information provided by me a 20 year old software developer may not be 100% accurate. I will answer any questions the best I can if anyone is seriously interested in this as I only created the post since many were asking about watching live on Rangers TV since the funds go 100% to the club. Ed you can move this to other posts if you like although I feel it will get more views here in Banter.

Brilliant!

Nice post Ross. Thanks for taking the time to do it. Much appreciated.

19 Jul 2016 13:13:27
Or you could just look on google to find out how to download kodi.

19 Jul 2016 13:49:25
Yeah but this way you can actually contribute to the club for the game without having to use external streaming sites which contribute nothing.

You can download the puffin browser free and quickly. Job is a good 'un.

19 Jul 2016 14:34:12
Personally in my experience with modern technology proxies won't work with it although I could be wrong. I'd assume puffin browser is using a proxy. Proxies provide no encryption or network relocation so I'm not 100% sure it work as the site will be able to test your connection with a DNS leak and find your true location.

Hola too - works perfectly - also helps to watch or listen online when overseas and a broadcast is UK restricted like some BBC commentaries.

19 Jul 2016 15:14:28
Hola can be bad for spyware but is a very basic form of vpn.

Great post Ross! Much appreciated 👏🏼👏🏼.

19 Jul 2016 16:31:00
What vpn do you use rossw. I have looked at loads, but most complain the apps don't work.

19 Jul 2016 16:50:47
NB: VPN also works if you want USA Netflix which has a better selection of movies 👍🏼.

Netflix are cracking down on that I personally use Private internet Access which for me is the best VPN service for price and they offer 24/ 7 support so they could help you a lot more than I could. It is however paid (like £30 or less a year I'm not sure was cheaper before the pound crashed) but is used for all sorts of purposes.
