Rather than spam other football threads I thought I’d use this one to describe my experiments.
Ive been thinking about trying to get streams slightly more toward the legal side of the dodgyness scale than I have been using.
While far from perfect I’m reasonably happy watching the Wolves v Palace game on my front room TV tonight.
Last weekend I subscribed to Optus Sport from Australia. It was $15Aud per month which worked out at about £8.50. I also subscribed to NordVPN to spoof my location.
I needed access to an Aussie mobile number for verification purposes. Fortunately my girlfriends oldest brother lives in Tasmania, so once it got to the middle of the night I was able to use his number and get him to forward the 2 factor authentication code to me. I was able to create an account, login, and watch pre-recorded video on the Optus site. However when I tried to watch live channels the Optus security stepped in and saw I was using a VPN. No go. After a fruitless hour or so on the web chat to NordVPN help I decided I’d give up. They refunded my annual subscription and I cancelled my Optus sub too.
Last night I couldn’t sleep (fuck you THFC) so I thought I’d try again.
This time I did a little more research and found a broadcaster/vpn subscription combo that appeared to currently be working.
The 2 services I’ve gone for are SurfShark and Bein.
It’s fiddly but it kinda works. Streams are probably easier to be fair. But this way the English football should get some benefit at some point.
I realise I’ve already run on at some length. I’ll leave it there for now, but if anyone wants to know any of the intricacies either reply here or DM me. It’s not a trap.......
Honest.
