How to watch The Traitors UK from the US and abroad

As mentioned earlier, The Traitors UK is available for online streaming on BBC iPlayer. This platform offers a variety of BBC productions that are accessible to UK residents. However, if you are traveling or residing abroad during the show’s airing, accessing the content can be a bit more challenging.

To access the BBC streaming service, you will need a reliable VPN app. VPN, which stands for virtual private network, helps you mask your location and access content from different regions. While there are many VPN options available, NordVPN is a recommended choice for unblocking BBC iPlayer due to its reliability and ease of use.

Below, you will find a step-by-step guide on how to use BBC iPlayer via NordVPN.

1.

Sign up for NordVPN

You can sign up here. The Complete plan is selected by default, but if you only need the VPN, click on Get Standard. Choose between a two-year, one-year, or one-month plan at the top.

Follow the instructions to create your account and complete the payment.

2.

Install the NordVPN app

If you’re using a phone or tablet, simply go to the app store and search for NordVPN to install it.

If you’re on Windows, log into your NordVPN account via a web browser, go to the Downloads section, and click on Download app next to Get NordVPN for Windows. Run the downloaded file to install the app.

3.

Launch NordVPN

Open the app and log in with the email address and password you used when creating your NordVPN account. On Windows, you should see a screen similar to this, while other platforms have similar interfaces.

Choose a location from the list or scroll the map to find the UK. Click on Connect to London. If prompted, allow NordVPN to establish a VPN connection. You may need to enter your Windows password or device passcode on mobile.

4.

Wait until the VPN is connected

Open iPlayer

Log in with your BBC account (or create one if you don’t have it) and start watching. The content should play smoothly as the VPN makes it appear as though you are in the UK.

If you are a UK resident with a valid TV license, you can log in to your BBC account and use a VPN service as outlined above. It’s worth noting that using a VPN to access BBC iPlayer, whether from abroad or within the UK, goes against the terms and conditions of the service.
