Watch HBO Now on iPhone Overseas – Smart DNS Proxy

HBO Now is geoblocked outside US. You won’t be able to access HBO Now outside US unless you fake your location. Smart DNS enables you to do just that. By redirecting the parts of your connection that reveal your location, Smart DNS will trick HBO Now to think you are actually in US.

iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV are compatible with Smart DNS.
Smart DNS does not change your IP address. You won’t be blocked from local websites or services.
Because Smart DNS only partially reroutes your connection, your Internet speed remains the same.
Smart DNS even lets you unblock Internet channels from different countries simultaneously. That means you can watch HBO Now, Now TV, and Star Sports at the same time.

Only sign up with trusted Smart DNS proxy services. You can try Unlocator‘s free 7-day trial to begin with. If you need help with the setup, check out their videos/guides. You can also take a look at their 205 unblocked streaming services.

Watch HBO Now on iPhone outside US – VPN

VPN takes a more radical approach to help you unblock geoblocked channels like HBO Now. It changes the path of all your connection. You’ll get an American IP address in the process.

Once connected to a US VPN server, all American online channels become unblocked. (Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, HBO Now, HBO Go, Hulu Plus, Sling TV, CBS All Access, WWE Network..)
VPN keeps your private data protected by encrypting it.
VPN apps are available for iPhone and iPad.
To enable VPN on a Apple TV, you have to install it on a VPN router.

If you prefer VPN, you can take advantage of ExpressVPN‘s 30-day money back guaranteed offer.

Hey Charles. Thanks for your article. Got it working to watch via express VPN stuff on my iPhone/iPad though it won’t stream via Apple TV to my Samsung smart TV. Doesn’t work with HBO Now and Hulu. But works with Prime Video and others…
Any idea why and how to fix it?

  Hello Allec. Have you tried connecting to different US VPN servers? In some cases, only certain VPN servers work with certain streaming channels.

    Hey. Thanks for the tip. Tried all of them. Unfortunately it didn’t help. Would a vpn router change anything or is it the e.g. HBO app that blocks Airplay from iOS device?

      It all depends on your current setup. Are you using ExpressVPN’s VPN or Smart DNS proxy on your iPad as well as Apple TV?

I stay in Asia but I have a US iTunes account. So I already have the HBO Now app. The problem is I still can’t watch anything on there cause it says the video isn’t available in my region. How do I go about watching videos?

  You need to sign up with a VPN service like BulletVPN or ExpressVPN. Once done, download and install their VPN app on your iPhone/iPad and connect to an American VPN server from within the app. You’ll be able to unblock all American apps in Asia once done.
