Here’s a situation: You’ve waited until the world “returned to normal” and finally gone on that trip to a foreign country you’ve been wanting to do for so long. Formula E is important to you, so you decide to take some time to watch the race. It turns out — unless your trip was to Cape Town — seeing the Formula E race might be harder if you’re an American abroad. The reasoning is that streaming services have different rights to stream to users from different parts of the world. Fortunately, you can use a VPN to change your digital location. For this, we recommend NordVPN due to how simple it is to “teleport” across the globe with its interface. It’s also among our picks for best VPN service. It has a reliable network and won’t introduce a ton of buffering or lag to your viewing experience, so it’s a great pick for live events.
