0 How to Watch Cricket Online in NZ

Cricket is the most popular sports in the world after football (actual football not rugby), it is watched by people of all ages and ethnicities, a sport that brings people together, and for a good reason.

There are many different places us New Zealanders can watch the world cup cricket live streaming, or perhaps The Ashes. On apps such as the BBC iPlayer and channels like Star Sports among others, there is live cricket streaming free of charge.

But the problem is, they all come with some restriction. Like the BBC iPlayer for example, although it is free, it’s only available for UK residents.

What can we do to bypass this?

I’m glad you asked. The answer is pretty simple; you either use a VPN service or a smart DNS proxy.

Why do I need these kinds of services?

You see, your computer, mobile or any other device capable of browsing the internet has something called an IP address. Websites use this IP to identify your physical location, and based on that, they either restrict some content in your region or allow it. For example, if I tried to access the BBC iPlayer from here in New Zealand, I won’t be able to. Will get an error saying this app is restricted in your country or something along those lines.

Those YouTube videos that sometimes give you the error “The uploader has not made this video available in your country” works the same way.

How will a VPN/Proxy fix this?

Another great question! A VPN provider will connect your computer to their network, and everything you do will be done through one of their servers.

Meaning if one of their servers is located in the UK, we can easily connect to it and use the iPlayer app as much as we want without any restrictions.

A proxy like the Unlocator works the same as well, but it doesn’t have any extra features like a VPN service, although it is much faster.

Because a VPN service always connects you to the internet through their servers, your internet speed is slowed down by about 15 to 40% depending on the VPN.

So it is essential that you choose a VPN service that reduces your connection speed the least. It of course also has to be cheap and provide a great service. Keeping these requirements in mind, we have a couple of options to choose from to be able to watch world cup cricket online:

ExpressVPN: – Fastest VPN in New Zealand

• Massive network, spanning over 94 countries and 145 different locations.
• 30-day money back guarantee
• Simple and easy to use
• 256-bit data encryption

NordVPN: – Super Secure VPN

• Well over 650 servers located in 57 countries and counting.
• Several packages and some are extremely cheap.
• Few different protocols with one providing 2048-bits of encryption for your data.
• Peer to peer traffic is allowed and unobstructed.
• Many other small features that give you a lot of variabilities and help make your experience even better.

Any of them will help get you free cricket streaming and give you many other options to choose from.

0 How to Watch BBC iPlayer in New Zealand

If you are reading this article, that means you are either a UK resident traveling abroad or a big fan like me and many other New Zealanders who want to watch all of the other great shows and broadcasts that are only available for UK residents.

Before we start, let’s clear somethings first. What is BBC iPlayer? In the simplest of terms, BBC iPlayer is a TV catch-up service, which is free for all UK residents.

You can watch previously aired TV shows, dramas, movies, radio broadcasts, etc.Anything that has already been aired is available to watch once more. Unfortunately, there is support for BBC iPlayer New Zealand at the moment.

You can pretty easily watch BBC iplayer online; it’s not that complicated. All you need to do is get a UK IP address for your device. Once that is done, you can do an iplayer BBC download and watch everything on the BBC iplayer app. There are two ways that you can do this, first is through the use of VPN services, and second through a proxy.

How do VPN’s work?

Once you subscribe to their services and download a VPN client, your computer will be connected to the VPN service providers’ network as long as the client is active. This network will connect to the internet on your behalf, and all the data will pass through their servers.

To access any region-restricted content like the BBC iPlayer app, all you have to do is connect to a server located in the UK, and then use the app or their website to start streaming whatever you so desire. Simple as that.

There are a couple of VPN services that are best suited for streaming:

ExpressVPN: A very well-rounded service, used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, provides top-quality services at a good price.

• With servers in over 94 countries and more than 145 different locations worldwide, it has the largest networks I have ever seen.
• Comes with 30-day full money back guarantee, no questions asked. In case you don’t like their service, you get your full money back.
• With unlimited bandwidth and speed, it is ideal for streaming videos and shows online as they require a good connection to start with. ALL VPN providers will reduce your internet speed by at least 15 to 40%, so a fast VPN service provider is a must have.
• 256-bit data encryption for that added protection.

NordVPN: This one is a little bit slower but provides extra security options in exchange.

• Up to 40% off, can get it for as low as $3.29 a month depending on which plan you go for.
• Multiple protocols to choose from which can have as high as 2048-bit of encryption.
• Double data encryption for that something special.
• 660+ servers in over 57 countries worldwide.
• Extremely simple and easy to use UI.
• Can support up-to 6 devices.

Whether its BBC news you’re after or want BBC iplayer Eastenders, by using the above method or a SmartDNS proxy which does the same thing as VPN but without any extra features such as encryption, data protection etc, you can have it all.

Unlocator is a great proxy which is available at almost half the price at most VPN services.
