LivingAbroad - VPN & Smart DNS

LivingAbroad is a Smart DNS service and a lightweight alternative to a full VPN. Instead of rerouting everything you do online, it connects only your streaming to your home region - so your live TV and catch-up load as if you never left, with nothing to set up and nothing else slowed down.

How it works: LivingAbroad uses Smart DNS to route only your streaming through your home country. Everything else - browsing, apps, banking - connects directly and stays untouched. There's no server list to pick and no setup to fiddle with: it works in the background the moment you open a supported service.

Supported services It covers the major UK and US streaming, live TV, and catch-up services that expats and travelers miss most. You watch with your own accounts - LivingAbroad handles the connection, not the subscription.

Why Smart DNS instead of a full VPN? A full VPN reroutes everything, which slows your connection and can break banking and work apps. LivingAbroad routes only your streaming, so the rest of your device stays as fast and private as before. If you just want to keep watching your home channels while abroad, it's the lighter, simpler way.

Private by design It only handles traffic for the streaming services it supports - it doesn't route or read the rest of your activity, doesn't collect payment details, and doesn't sell your data.

Who it's for travelers, expats on assignment, and students overseas - anyone who wants their home viewing to come along for the trip.
