If you are Australian citizen and live outside Australia or you are travelling abroad, you know that watching Australian TV online can be quite a challenge. TV networks block people outside Australia from watching. Fortunately, there is a simple solution to this problem: AU VPN services.
Australian TV networks offer hundreds of shows to watch online as “catch up” TV that are great for travellers wanting to stay in touch with home. Full episodes you can watch via your web browser but not downloaded.
In order to bypass the restrictions you need to sign up for a VPN service that offers Australian servers. Basically, a AU VPN service allows you to connect to a server located in Australia. Once connected you are assigned an Autralian IP address and all traffic is redirected through that server. So, if you are in the USA and connect to a VPN server in Australia, your computer will appear to be located in Australia.
There are not many VPN providers that offer AU VPN, but here 2 that I recommend: Overplay and Astrill. Unfortunately, there are not free VPN services with AU VPN servers (similar to Hotspot Shield or Expat Shield).
After you sign up and you get the login details, you need to set up a PPTP connection. Both services also offer OpenVPN option, but I recommend PPTP as it is faster. PPTP works for all types of operating system including Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android and detailed how-to tutorials are available.
After you finish the setup you should be able to access any of the Australian TV websites and watch any of the shows listed below (via ausbt.com.au):
