So if you want to use live streams from Austria or Switzerland, you need a receiver with an IP address from those countries. As soon as the device can be located in Germany using the IP address (abbreviation for “Internet Protocol address”), reception is blocked. So-called “geo-blocking” is usually carried out by streaming providers for licensing reasons.
With a so-called VPN network connection, IP addresses can be legally encrypted or masked. Providers of such non-public VPN networks (abbreviation for: “Virtual Private Network”) include “NordVPN”, “Surfshark”, “Cyberghost” or “Mullvad”.
In this context, the Federal Office for Information Security points out that free VPN providers can certainly have their disadvantages.
BSI warns against free VPN providers
The so-called Geo-Blocking works by blocking all IP addresses that are not assigned to the Federal Republic of Germany. This type of IP block does not work with VPN software on your tablet or notebook. The geo-blocking is circumvented here.
Choosing a VPN provider is always a matter of trust, since all your data traffic runs through its servers and could theoretically be monitored and manipulated there.
In addition to paid accounts for commercial VPN servers, the market also offers several free offers available. With a free VPN, you usually have to accept functional limitations or live with a relatively poor connection quality. In addition, you often pay for a free VPN with your personal data, which can be evaluated for marketing purposes, for example.
