NFT: Question about VPN access for Giants games

bigblue12 : 5/17/2023 5:51 pm
Likely a silly question, but can you get a VPN, set it for a location in NY and watch games on the local channels (FOX, CBS, etc) if you are out of state or do you have to use the international?
Depends

What streaming service are you attempting to use? YouTube TV for example doesn't work well with most vpns

I have done this the last 2 seasons, not free but 200 dollars for all games and the red zone channel and nfl network. I don’t live in NY market and this was the best solution for me.

May I ask you a few questions?

Which vpn do you have?
The game pass is $200/year?
Does it have an app to use on a smart tv or do you cast from a laptop?


Thanks

I found Intl Gamepass with a VPN to be pretty hard  
PatersonPlank : 5/17/2023 9:22 pm : link
I had to try a lot of times to fool the software. It would keep picking me up as in the USA. I got the $249 YoutubeTV early access deal, with Intl Gamepass being $199 I just felt the extra $50 was worth it for the convenience. I also don't have to worry about casting my laptop to a TV (another pain) and I like watching the 8 game and 4 game boxes (especially when the Giants aren't on)
2023 is going to be different

NFL International will be part of DAZN network, not a stand alone product anymore. This may make it much more difficult to work around.

West Virginia. I have xfinity cable and only subscribe to local channels. I point my VPN to New York. For a game that falls on Fox, I download the Foxsports app, login in to foxsports using my login to my xfinity account and have my VPN pointed to a New York VPN. Works everytime.
Once my older kids went to college  
pjcas18 : 5/19/2023 12:44 pm : link
(the past three years) I mostly stopped with the NFL Europe/VPN method and I got DirecTV Student version for $120 using one of my kids college email addresses.

Not sure if youtube will offer something similar, but that was easy to do.

and lucky me I have one more year for my older kids then my younger kid is a Freshman, so if they have this option on youtube it will be better for me.

I use ExpressVPN. I do everything through my Nvidia Shield, but I'm sure you could go through directly your route. I always logout out of Foxsports, point my VPN to a NY area VPN, then sign back in to Foxsports. I've never had an issue. I think I'm paying $70 or so for the year for my VPN. They always seem to have promos running.

I believe to get NY channels using the VPN route you will need

to have your VPN on the router itself, not your individual laptop. At least this is what I found. If VPN was just on my computer, the end "NY App" would still figure out where I was from the router. I'm not sure how, but this was my experience
