what countries is the subscription limited to, the reason I ask is because the Opera browser has a free VPN built in. I think you can select US or Europe

It seems it is needed when Dstv decides to buy the rights to an event.

 

But I have a lot to learn of these things ....

you didn’t understand what i was saying. You need a subscription to GCN+ plus a VPN to be able to sign up and watch it. The Opera browser has a free VPN built in.

You only need a VPN to watch certain races on GCN+, not all.

de Ronde
Paris-Roubaix
The Tour
La Vuelta

Look at the SA calendar, and if the  event doesn’t show, you need the VPN connection.

A VPN also hides your IP address from hackers. If you’ve filled in online forms, you might find that they are collecting your IP address too. The VPN hides this behind an encrypted server.

Not sure about the Opera VPN, and might be worth checking. I had one before NordVPN and I could watch Hulu, HBO and other US shows, as it picked up I was using a VPN.

I also use an Android media box.

 

Do you run the vpn always, or just for those geo-blocked events ?

 

 

 

Do you set up the vpn just on this box, or for your whole house ?

just for gcn.  netflix doesnt like vpn's on the media box.  but i have the same setup on my phone and tablet as well for loadshedding times.

I know you can set it up on you router ... but i prefer the simpler route. I dont want the vpn running at all times. it affects internet speed, browsing, shopping etc.
