This might have been covered but couldn't find it in a search. Last winter I couldn't get EPSN+ to work out of country using a Norton VPN. 86'd Norton and am asking what others have used to get into their ESPN+ account when overseas. Anyone use Nord and have it work in Euro or Mexico? Other suggested VPNs?

I tried with Nord in Mexico. Couldn't get it to work.

Had to resort to my friend Yuri from Kyiv.

Harder to find the pirate feeds for WBB. Or used to be, haven't tried looking in some time.

Also hard to find legit info on what VPN's might really work. Most of the "reviews" are corrupt and paid for by the products being reviewed. That's pretty much true of anything that pops up these days for "reviews".

Yeah, WBB is hard.

I was able to find the men's game at Oklahoma, at least.

I haven't had issues in Mexico but I have in Europe.

I was in Germany for the BYU game and based on the timing when I woke up at 4:30 wide awake I thought I'd check on the game. I couldn't get it to work any easy way and only had my work laptop so wasn't going to try any pirate feeds etc.

Funny add on to this I did try the TV to see if they happened to have a ESPN channel (occasionally happens in hotels overseas). The best I found was one that was labeled "Sports". It looked like a commercial so I watched for awhile. Three Germans walking in lederhosen through a field on a farm. I figured it was a commercial and thought I would watch for a bit just in case the game on after the commercial. After a bit the ladies were topless and things progressed from there. So you can get free porn but don't you dare stream ESPN

I'm heading to Mexico tomorrow and with it on LHN I'm not feeling very confident. I usually stream ESPN on my phone when I'm out to dinner there to keep an eye on things. I've never found a good pirate that works well on my phone though.

I spent a month in a half overseas for work a few years back. It was during the 2013-2014 season and tournament run.

I used US TV Now to access American TV, which included ESPN. It was my understanding this service was created specifically for deployed military. Now…this was before ESPN+, so I’m guessing a lot has changed, but my point is, I’d search for ways the US Military can access these steaming media. I am sure there are ways that are both legal and safe.

I live in the UK. Nord works for ESPN+ and network streaming but you need to clear your cookies first or use a dedicated browser.
