For those who enjoy watching TV shows and films on Channel 4, E4, More4, Film4, and 4Music, you can now stream all your favorites on the Channel 4 streaming hub, previously known as All 4.
However, Channel 4 is only accessible within the UK due to licensing restrictions. This can be inconvenient for viewers traveling abroad or living outside the UK who want to keep up with popular shows like Hollyoaks and Taskmaster.
Fortunately, there is a solution. Here’s how you can watch Channel 4 from outside the UK, including the highly anticipated Celebrity Edition of The Great British Bake Off.
How to Watch Channel 4 with a VPN
The easiest way to access Channel 4 from abroad is to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A VPN allows you to browse the internet while appearing to be in a different country, bypassing location restrictions.
There are many VPN services available, but we successfully unblocked the Channel 4 website using NordVPN, known for its reliability, speed, and affordability.
