How a VPN works with Irish TV
Streaming services in Ireland, such as RTÉ, Virgin Media one, and TG4, may restrict access to their content based on your IP address, a unique identifier that also shows your approximate geographical location. That means that if you want to watch Irish TV shows online, you’ll need an Irish IP address.
ExpressVPN offers a fast, secure, and reliable solution for watching Irish TV online. With an encrypted connection, your internet service provider and other network operators won’t be able to block or slow down your online activities, including streaming.
When you’re connected to an Ireland VPN server, all your traffice will be encrypted and your device will display an Irish IP address. This gives you the security and privacy you expect from a VPN and ensures seamless streaming access.
Unlike free proxies, which can be unreliable and inconsistent, ExpressVPN keeps you connected to your favorite Irish entertainment. Plus, setting up is quick and easy — you'll be ready to stream in just a few minutes.
Secure access to your favorite channels
If your ISP throttles certain kinds of content, or your school, office, or public Wi-Fi network restricts streaming services to save bandwidth or minimize distractions, you'll need a VPN. ExpressVPN allows you to enjoy comprehensive privacy and security protections without compromising your streaming experience. With optimized servers in Ireland, you can access Irish channels like RTÉ, Virgin Media Two, and TG4 in HD without content-based throttling.
