Game of Thrones has gone well beyond a trend, in recent years. It’s more of a lifestyle. And while this might be pushing it, a little, are lifestyle choices really up for debate, anymore? If someone chooses to live one way or another, who are we to stop them?
Okay, I can’t really follow this line of thinking too far without it collapsing, but it does come in handy for online viewing. If you want to know ‘how can I watch Game of Thrones online?’ why shouldn’t you be able to?
One obvious reason might be that you live in New Zealand. Home to Frodo and Middle Earth, you could at least hope that Game of Thrones would be welcome material here…
Well, HBO certainly doesn’t think that way. And HBO Go New Zealand just doesn’t cut it. The best way to access HBO, sadly, is to do so from within US borders.
Now, if you don’t have the bank account or will power to pack up and move to California for GOT, I don’t blame you. There are other ways to achieve a goal. Remember, this is an age of possibility… Especially online. It’s scary, almost, but inspiring.
Using a VPN
A Virtual Private Network allows you to change your geo-location. This, in straightforward terms, means that you can be in Wellington, and appear in Wellington. No, name-similarity is not at all related to the technology.
It is just a super useful tool for unblocking restricted content. Oh, and it also makes your activity rather anonymous. 
I say ‘rather’ because nothing is truly anonymous online. This gets you pretty close though.
Why is this useful? Well, you may have noticed that on accessing the HBO site, a friendly message tells you to please go away if you’re from New Zealand. Okay, not quite in those words, but it’s the same idea.
They want to tell you that you cannot watch this content, and you want to say, ‘but that’s unfair.’ And, for all reasons relevant to this discussion, it is unfair. This is why the VPN was created. To offer justice.
Creating a US iTunes Account
First step: create a US iTunes account. Then download ExpressVPN, the best VPN NZ. This product will walk you right through installation, and you’ll be watching Daenerys riding into battle on her dragon in no time. Spoiler?
If, for some unknown reason, you don’t want to use a VPN, try a smart DNS like unlocator. Both of these products 
will change your geo-location, but they will not make you anonymous. This is why the reason for choosing them remains unknown.
No, these products will certainly get the job done and might be offered at a lower rate than some VPN servers.
So much time as it leads to you getting access to all the Game of Thrones you can physically handle in a 24 hour period, it will do. Watch HBO now without the hassle of New Zealand content restrictions.
