How to watch RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under from anywhere
If you're a UK citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under on BBC iPlayer just as you would at home.
While BBC iPlayer is for licence fee-paying Brits and blocks access from IP addresses outside of the UK, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN which can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, UK citizens in the States can subscribe to a VPN, join a UK based server and tune into all the programmes on BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home. Similarly, Kiwis won't want to miss out on their free stream via TVNZ+, so can follow these steps, too.
Step-by-step of using a VPN to unblock:
1. Choose a VPN and install it - our go-to recommendation is ExpressVPN
2. Connect to a server - for BBC iPlayer, for example, you'll want to connect to a server based in the UK
3. Go to the live stream you wish to access - for RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under, head to BBC iPlayer
