thank you for watching

to unblock streaming services without
signing up to a costly VPN did you know

fire stick and other streaming devices
for free
stick with me to find out how
[Music]
thank you
you can use the clickable sections below
to skip ahead to any specific part in
this video
if you've come across this problem
before when trying to watch content from
a streaming app it's usually due to a
Geo block which means that content is
not available in your location
you might also have experienced this
problem when traveling and accessing
services like iPlayer peacock Hulu ABC
crackle and any other streaming service
that due to terms of use and Licensing
issues is blocked depending on where you
are in the world
one way to get past these blocks or
restrictions is to use a VPN with a VPN
you can trick your internet connection
into believing you are located in a
different part of the world and this
opens up content that was previously
restricted by bypassing these blocks on
your internet freedom
nordvpn and surfshark are great vpns for
doing just that but these cost money
if you're on a tight budget or just
don't want to pay for a VPN there is a
VPN that you can use completely for free
but it's not only safe and secure but
also has almost the same unblocking
capabilities as paid vpns
but VPN is windscribe and you can get it
on your fire stick right from the Amazon
app store
it's completely free to use with no
hidden charges but because it is free it
does come with some limitations
when you open the windscribe app you can
get started without having to enter any
details at all
however you 'll soon notice that without
a windscribe account you'll only be able
to use the windscribe VPN to stream one
gigabyte of data
the good news is you can get more data
and you can get more for free
tap on the Cog icon in the top left hand
corner to go into the preferences and
tap down to get more data
here you have two options get a pro
account that will give you an unlimited
amount of data which is going to cost
you
or choose the sign up option which
although only increases your data
allowance to 10 gigabytes per month this
costs you absolutely nothing
and as I'll demonstrate in a few minutes
you can unblock streaming applications
and even other Netflix libraries
create an account for free by entering a
username password and your email address
to upgrade your data allowance to 10
gigabytes
you won't see your data allowance
upgrade immediately you will need to
complete a few extra steps first
first go into your emails and confirm
your email address
then you'll need to head back over to
the windscribe app on your fire stick
sign out of your account and then sign
back in and you'll see that your
allowance now shows 10 gigabytes of data
which remember refreshes after every 30
days
without a VPN I can't access the Roku
Channel which has a ton of amazing free
content from movies to TV shows and even
live TV channels
without using a VPN I can't even get the
app to load on my fire stick
without using a VPN when I open Netflix
as I'm in the UK this limits me to be
only be able to see and watch content
from the UK Netflix Library
for free windscribe removes all of these
limitations
let's see how it's done
open the windscribe app and tap down to
select a location
if you want to stream content from the
ABC app for example this streaming
service is only available in the US so
you must be located in the US or use a
VPN to make it seem as if you are
choose a U.S server location and connect
to it
when connected open the ABC app and
choose something to watch
with windscribe connecting you to the US
you can now stream and watch content
from the ABC app with no more
restrictions
and with winscribe connecting me to the
US I can also now open the Roku channel
app and start streaming a live TV
channel
not only can I now watch content from
streaming apps that were previously
blocked but with windscribe connected to
the US I can open Netflix and view the
US Netflix Library giving me access to a
whole load more content I couldn't
previously find in the UK Netflix
Library
windscribe gives you access to
unblocking streaming content from 10
different locations globally with the
free account
any server you see in the windscribe app
that has a green star next to it is only
available if you pay to upgrade and you
do have to hunt around the windscribe
app to find the free server locations
almost every free location has multiple
cities you can connect to and once you
find them within the windscribe app and
you add them to your favorites you can
make them easily accessible from within
the favorite section
if you're wondering what the speeds are
like when connected to windscribe they
are not bad at all and definitely
adequate for streaming
without windscribe connected I can
usually get speeds of around 34 megabits
per second on my 4K fire stick
connecting windscribe to the best
location which is my closest server
location in London my internet speed is
reduced slightly to 25 megabits per
second
changing my windscribe server to Atlanta
over 4 000 miles away still gives me a
decent enough speed for streaming
if you are enjoying using windscribe and
want or need more than the 10 gigabytes
of monthly data allowance you can of
course upgrade to the Pro Plan which
will give you unlimited data and access
to all of windscribed servers in over 60
countries and 110 cities
let me know in the comments section down
below if you give winscribe a try and
watch streaming apps you can now get
access to that were previously blocked
from your location
