Rio Olympics 2016: NordVPN Offers 50% Off to Sports Enthusiasts
August 2016 by NordVPN
Brazil will be bringing the biggest sporting event of the
year on August 5-21. However, if you want to watch the games online from
abroad, you might not always be able to reach your favorite streaming
channel due to geo-blocks.
The solution for free and borderless streaming of sports games is a VPN
(Virtual Private Network) that allows you to connect to the Internet by
circumventing geographical restrictions.
A VPN service links user ¹s computer to a server in a country of their
choice via encrypted tunnel so a person can appear to be in Brazil, while
they actually are in another country, and vice versa, simply by choosing a
different VPN server location. A VPN service like NordVPN

would hide your real IP address, and
substitute it with the Brazilian IP address by connecting to a server in
Brazil. So when the streaming site looks at your IP, it will see the IP of
the Brazilian VPN server.
There are a number of streaming services that will be offering over 300
sports events for your viewing convenience. If you follow a specific sport
you might want to follow every game not just the finals that Cable
Networks choose to show you. You can enjoy the games from anywhere you are,
even if the airing of your favorite game is blocked in your country.
