Hi..For those who want to see/hear games overseas on business trips, etc, but have issues because ESPN,Netflix, etc block foreign IPs. This past weekend I was in Tokyo and used a VPN on my iPad called ExpressVPN. There are other VPN's out there, but this one worked fine. Connected to the VPN, opened the WatchESPN app and was able to watch the game. Very cool. Hopefully I won't have issues with the CBS sports app when trying to watch the bama game in a few weeks.

Son was an LSU athlete and currently lives in Australia. He uses ExpressVPN also to stream ESPN, SECN and watches all LSU games. It gives you an IP address in the US. If you have a userid and password you should be good.

I used TunnelBear this year for the Wisconsin game while we were in S Korea. It worked great.

We've traveled all over the world. We've used Hotspot Shield for years. Get the paid version - $30 per year. Never missed an LSU game. BUT you need to have your login info (or someone else's) for a current cable subscription to ESPN. Only need VPN for CBS games.

The last couple of weeks, the CBS sports app has been absolutely crap. I get no video or constant blurred video.

it is as bad as the FS1 app
