Watch BBC iPlayer, ITV & Channel 4 Abroad

What is Living Abroad? Living Abroad is a browser extension that keeps your home streaming with you when you travel. It's a lightweight alternative to a full VPN: instead of rerouting everything you do online, it connects only your streaming to your home region, so your shows - like your BBC iPlayer catch-up from outside the UK, or your usual Netflix watchlist - load as if you never left. Nothing to set up, and the rest of your browsing stays as fast and private as before. How does it work? When you open a supported service, Living Abroad routes just that service's traffic through your home country, so the page loads as if you were still at home. Everything else - email, work apps, banking - connects directly and is untouched. There's no server list and no per-site setup: routing switches on when you visit a supported service and off when you leave. Under the hood the extension works as a lightweight proxy - the same everyday result as a smart-DNS service, but with nothing for you to set up. Which services does it support? Living Abroad focuses on the UK and US services expats and travelers miss most. UK: BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, Channel 5, and NOW US: Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, and Paramount+ You watch with your own account on each - Living Abroad handles the connection, not the subscription. What can you watch? • Live TV and catch-up - live channels and on-demand catch-up wherever a service offers them • Offline downloads - save shows for the plane or train, where the service supports downloads • Automatic routing - no per-site setup and no manual switching • Lightweight - active only for supported services, so everything else stays untouched Why use it instead of a full VPN? A full VPN reroutes everything you do online - slowing your connection, breaking banking and work tools, and asking you to pick servers and configure apps. Living Abroad routes only your streaming, so everything else stays as fast and private as before. If you just want to keep watching your home channels while abroad, it's a lighter, simpler way to do it. Is it safe and private? Living Abroad only handles traffic for the streaming services it supports. It doesn't route or read the rest of your browsing, doesn't collect payment details, and doesn't sell your data. You can pause it or disable it for any service from the toolbar icon at any time. Who is it for? Built for travelers, expats on temporary assignments, and students overseas - anyone who wants their home viewing along for the trip, whether that's catching ITV from abroad or opening your watchlist wherever you land. Frequently asked questions Do I still need my own subscription? Yes. Living Abroad connects you to each service but doesn't provide the content. You watch with your existing account, and access depends on that service's own terms. Is Living Abroad a VPN? No - it's a lightweight alternative. A VPN routes everything you do online; Living Abroad routes only your streaming, so there's nothing to configure and nothing else slows down. Which browsers are supported? Chrome and all Chromium-based browsers, including Edge, Brave, and Opera. Is Living Abroad affiliated with these services? No. Living Abroad is an independent tool and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by any of the services listed.
