VPN
Many of the channels streams their services via the internet, but are "geo-restricted."
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this geo-block. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, ensuring that all the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted. VPN services can be used legally for recreational use but are not to be exploited commercially. Eurodressage does not endorses watching pirated content.
