    How to watch London International live from anywhere

    Coverage on the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website is geo-blocked outside the UK, while ClipMyHorse.TV will geo-restrict the classes being broadcast by the BBC. A VPN, though, will get you your usual coverage from anywhere in the world.

    A Virtual Private Network can alter your device’s digital location, bypassing geo-restrictions and unlocking your equestrian streams wherever you happen to be. VPNs also work wonders for your internet security, encrypting your information to keep you safe online.

    There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. We’d suggest using a paid-for service such as NordVPN, where you can get 74% off, which offers a 100% risk-free money back guarantee. If you’re not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.

    – 3 months extra FREE
    – Just £2.29/month
