If you need to bypass Geo-blocking for a streaming service from another country, this is the very user friendly solution I have found.
ExpressVPN have firmware that you can load onto one of the supported routers - it has to be the router only version as I found out the hard way by getting one with a built in modem and the firmware wouldn’t load.
So I went for a Linksys WRT-3200acm it’s a bit ugly but pretty powerful. Loaded the firmware on it (easy) and now I can select any device on my home network to connect to a VPN and leave everything else as normal. Using your tablet or phone just pick a location and a device and it will connect in a couple of seconds.
This allows you to use apps on a Smart TV or streaming box and connect them to servers in the USA and all over the world to unlock content.
