These weeks many people go out to their favorite holiday country, now that this is possible again. If you do not want to miss your favorite TV programs during your vacation abroad, you can use, for example, the NPO Start (Netherlands) or the VTM Go app (Belgium).
Unfortunately, it is not possible to view all programs of Dutch or Belgian streaming services abroad. Often the streams of programs are limited to certain geographical areas due to rights.
Geographical limitation means that you can only view a program or stream from your own country. If you still want to view these programs from your holiday country, you can use ClearVPN, the simplest VPN service available for iOS and MacOS. Unlike most VPN services, you do not need technical knowledge to use a VPN connection.
View TV program (stream) from abroad
To be able to watch a TV program from abroad, you go through the following steps.
Sample: You are on holiday in France (or in the Netherlands) and you want to view a program such as ‘The Coppens code’ via the VTM Go app. You will then receive the message: ‘This title is not available abroad’ and the play button to start the stream will not be visible.
You can solve this as follows:
- Install ClearVPN on your Mac or iOS device
- Start the ClearVPN app
- Select the ‘Change Your Location’ â–¸ ‘Belgium’ option
- Then tap the ‘Connect to Belgium’ button
- Your iPhone, iPad or MacBook will now go on the internet via a Belgian server
- Open the VTM Go app and you will see that the geographical limitations have disappeared in the TV program
This above also works for Dutch people who would like to watch TV programs on Belgian streaming services. Conversely, it is of course also possible: as a Belgian ClearVPN user you choose ‘the Netherlands’ and you can look at the Dutch streaming services in Belgium.
The ClearVPN app is at the forefront of making VPN use more user-friendly and more intuitive. The personalized shortcuts and simple layout make it a pleasure to use, even if this is the first time you have used a VPN.
The app also has a good balance between speed and safety. It offers a wide selection of streaming options, including access to the American version of Netflix, which is usually difficult to stream with many other VPN services.
Purchase clearvpn
You can try and use ClearVPN for free. However, if you want to use all functionalities, you must purchase the premium version. The costs are € 10.95 per month, € 59.95 per year or € 83.95 for 2 years.
ClearVPN also available in SetApp
ClearVPN is also part of SetApp for Mac, iPados and iOS. SetApp is a software service comparable to  arcade, but for general software, so no games. For a fixed amount per month you get access to more than 200 apps.
