How to Watch Disney plus from anywhere in the world

How to watch Disney plus in the UK , Australia, Spain or anywhere in the world

Disney Plus (or Disney+) has now been globally released in the US, Canada and the Netherlands. 

Although the for the UK, Australia, and many other countries launch will not be until at least April 2020, meaning that all the Disney fans will be left in the lurch.

Or will they? By using Vanished VPN and the methods below to pay, you can access Disney+ , and all the awesome content right now !

If you’re in a country that has Disney+ and already have an account, the method below should also work if you’re travelling outside of the country. 

Watch Disney+ using VanishedVPN

What you will need

  1. 30 minutes
  2. A Vanished VPN Subscription
  3. An IOS device & a USA iTunes account
  4. A $15 USA iTunes token

We guarantee that our VPN will unblock Disney + unlike some of our competitors (express VPN for example) who are still playing catch up.

We also offer a 7 day money back guarantee so that you can test us risk free. You can sign up for an account here.

After confirming that we can unblock the location blocks on Disney +, we initially hit a roadblock when it came to the payment info. Thankfully, we’ve managed to find a workaround through creating a US iTunes account.

How to sign up to Disney+ with a US Apple ID 

Note that to use this method, you’ll need an iOS device to initially set up a Disney+ account, and that doesn’t include Macs – just iPads, iPhones and Apple TV. We’ve successfully created a new Apple ID that’s tied to the US, loaded it up with a USD gift card and then signed up for Disney Plus on an iPad using a VPN. Once you’ve done all that, you can watch it on any other device, still using a VPN. 

There’s a full guide here on creating a US Apple ID, but here’s a summary of the steps:

  • Open the App Store or iTunes and log out of your store account.
  • Scroll to the bottom of the window until you find the flag icon. Click on that, or alternatively selected ‘change country’ to switch to the United States.
  • Create a new Apple ID, but be certain to not include any payment information, as this is not how you’ll be paying for Disney+.
  • Load up your account with credit by purchasing a digital USD iTunes gift card, which can be done via Best Buy. The cheapest one is $15, and we got the redemption code a few minutes later. Note, you will need to give a USA address and phone number. Just google a hotel in the USA somewhere.
  • Log into your new US Apple ID and go to account settings in the App Store to redeem your gift code. 
  • Finally, connect to the Vanished VPN USA server on an iPhone, iPad or Apple TV. Download the Disney+ app from the app store and install it.
  • Within the Disney+ app, create an account and use your gift card credit as the payment option, and you’re good to go.

From this point on you should have a Disney+ account that works on any iOS device or your browser. You will need to connect to the Vanished VPN US servers each time you want to view content.

How to Watch Chernobyl

This guide will show you how to stream the hit HBO series, Chernobyl legally without having to pay for a premium Foxtel or Sky subscription.

Chernobyl is the new hit TV series from HBO which has achieved an incredible rating of 9.7/10 on IMDB already beating Game of Thrones & Breaking Bad.

This is is a five-part miniseries based on the real-life events of the catastrophic nuclear disaster in northern Ukrainian SSR in 1986.

As with all HBO series, Chernobyl is being aired on premium TV sites such as Foxtel & Sky, but we will show you how you can stream the whole series legally for a fraction of the cost.

For streaming HBO, we recommend Hotstar.com. This site is normally blocked outside of India, but we remove the block for you. You will need a premium account with Hotstar, but at $4AUD a month, its much cheaper than Foxtel, and gives you access to premium sport (like World Cup Cricket, F1, EPL etc), and premium TV & Movies.

How to access Hotstar.com from Outside India

By connecting to the VanishedVPN India servers,  you get an Indian IP address. That way, Hotstar.com thinks you’re in India, and you can access the content

Simply follow these instructions:

  1. Sign up for a VanishedVPN subscription if you don’t already have one (we have a 30 day money back guarantee) & configure your device using our setup guides.
  2. Connect to our India VPN & goto hotstar.com to view non premium content
  3. To access premium content, follow this guide showing you how to sign up for Hotstar premium.

Using a VPN is completely legal. It is not going to get you in trouble with authorities.

#WinterIsComing

Its been a long wait for Game Of Thrones Fans, but Season 8 is now upon us. You can catch every episode at the time it airs in the USA by using your Vanished VPN subscription, and our guide below.

Each one of these methods does require setting up accounts with the content providers, so we recommend setting up at least a couple of days before GOT starts, so you have time to make sure everything works.

GOT will be airing first on HBO in the USA. HBO is available as an add-on for the Hulu.com service , so that is our first recommendation.

Hulu.com has been getting better and better, and now includes add ons for live TV & HBO. Plans start at $5.99 per month, and then the HBO add on is $14.99 per month (with the 1st week free). If you search on Ebay for ‘HBO HULU’ you will find annual accounts being advertised with 12 month guarantees for as little as $5. We can’t guarantee these ourselves, but we have tried a few and they do work, so there’s an option.

To Access GOT on Hulu.com:

  1. Sign up for a Vanished VPN plan if you don’t already have one.
  2. Connect to our USA VPN.
  3. Visit Hulu.com & register (or buy an account from ebay)
  4. Start each GOT episode as it airs from the 14th April

Our 2nd recommendation is Hotstar.com . Hotstar has confirmed that it will also have the GOT streams available at the same time that it airs in the USA, and its a far cheaper option than Hulu.com. To access the GOT streams on Hotstar.com you will need a premium membership, but don’t worry, at $4 AUD Monthly or $20 AUD for a year, it won’t break the bank (it also gives you access to Cricket, Premier League & lots more). Think Foxtel, but way cheaper.

To watch GOT on Hotstar.com:

  1. Sign up for a Vanished VPN plan if you don’t already have one.
  2. Connect to our India VPN.
  3. Visit Hotstar.com & register (see our guide here if you get stuck)
  4. Start each GOT episode as it airs from the 14th April

Enjoy …
