My other half has a place in Austria and she’d like to watch UK TV streaming apps if possible

The Smart TV streams over WiFi so is it possible to get a UK IP address over WiFi?

She can watch UK TV using a VPN on her laptop / tablet but can’t find a way of doing it via WiFi?

Can anyone recommend a way of doing this?

Thanks

I work away a lot and use a 'AlwaysHome Duo' double dongle - one which sits on the router at home in the UK while the other connects to local wifi abroad and retransmits its own wifi signal. You then connect laptop/phone/TV to this dongle's wifi and it routes all traffic as if direct from your home (UK) wifi, i.e. the IP is your UK home. You can use your 'away' dongle wherever you have wifi, so cafes/friends etc.

You can get a 'solo' version and they provide the 'UK' end, but can't comment how that works as I use the Duo. Support was very good for initial setup problems purely due to my inherent technophobia.

Off the top of my head it was about £100 for the devices and a years subscription, after that I think it's about £40pa to just subscribe.

Works well with me on all services that have geolocation issues.

Massive thanks, this looks like the easiest / simplest option
