How to watch The Other Bennet Sister from anywhere with a VPN
If you’re traveling outside the UK, you can watch The Other Bennet Sister on the BBC iPlayer streaming service by using a VPN – no matter where you are in the world!
Normally a streaming service will know where you are trying to tune in from and block you if you’re not in the right country but a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an app that hides your location. That means you can access your usual sports and entertainment services even while you’re traveling abroad.
Our favorite VPN is NordVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.
