Don’t worry if you’re going to be overseas for Carabao Cup final, however, because you can use a VPN to watch your usual service as if you were back home
Read on to find out how to watch the Carabao Cup final online, on TV, and from anywhere.
Carabao Cup final: Where to watch Liverpool vs Newcastle
Sunday, March 16
Use a VPN to watch from anywhere
If you’re overseas when the Carabao Cup final take place, annoyingly your usual on-demand services won’t work. That’s because your IP address tells the broadcaster you’re in another country, and you’ll subsequently be blocked from tuning in – not ideal if you’ve already paid up for a subscription service you’re not able to use.
Thankfully there is another option that doesn’t involve resorting to one of those illegal feeds on Reddit. All you need is a VPN (Virtual Private Network), a handy piece of software which can make it look like your device is still back at home.
Assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to create a private connection between your device and choice and the internet, meaning the streamer can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is also entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, but FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar are big fans of NordVPN:
