British holidaymakers are raving about a £2.59-a-month hack that enables you to stream films and TV shows abroad.
As regular travellers will know, nothing gets you through a long day on the road more than your favourite television series. But tuning into popular streaming sites such as Netflix, Disney+ or Amazon is no easy feat when you're overseas.
Thankfully, Brits have spotted a budget trick to ensure you never miss out on the small screen action, no matter where in the world you are.
We're talking about the ExpressVPN of course. With thousands of five-star reviews online, people swear by it for content on the move, and we're sold.
One user shared on Trustpilot, "I travel abroad a lot and during my four years plus as a member, nowhere in the world, have I ever been left hanging. ExpressVPN has always been there for me on the spot."
A second agreed, as they wrote: "Great for when I'm abroad, as I can stream videos that are only available in the UK. Would recommend to anyone on holiday."
A third said, "Fantastic service, really useful particularly when away on holiday. Really secure and didn't slow down my access at all. First class."

What is the £2.59-a-month hack everyone is raving about?
Brits have stumbled across a clever way to tune into your favourite films and TV shows abroad without having to spend a small fortune.
Express VPN understands that one plan doesn’t serve everyone equally anymore. That’s why the brand has launched a new model, designed to give customers the flexibility to choose the protection that suits their lifestyle. Whether you want to work, play games or watch your favourite television shows overseas.
Designed to keep you safe online, ExpressVPN will ensure customers are protected no matter which package you choose, by masking your IP address and encrypting internet traffic.
This week, the leading VPN service introduced three new plans to choose from: Basic, Advanced, and Pro.
To secure the deal, you'll need to select the Basic plan, which includes 10 simultaneous connections and Lite Protection, which blocks ads and malicious sites. You even have up to 30 days to receive a refund if you change your mind.
The new plans are designed to make using a VPN easier than ever before, whether you're after a simple way to stay connected overseas or need for a full privacy suite with travel data and identity protection included.

So, what is a VPN and how does it work?
You're not the only one who has questions. A virtual private network (VPN), is a secure tunnel between your device and the internet. Basically, a VPN enables you to stay connected whilst travelling as if you are still in your home country, whether you want to stream TV or shop online.
A VPN can also protect you whilst accessing public WiFi in airports, cafes or hotels, as it will encrypt your connection to protect your private data from hackers.
Top benefits of a VPN:
- Keep you connected to your favourite apps, websites, and streaming services as though you're in your home country
- Stream content from platforms such as Netflix, Amazon, and Disney+
- Find the best deals and local prices when shopping online
- Enable gamers to unlock games, maps, and skins that may be blocked on your network
How to sign up for a VPN before your next holiday
At the time of writing, there are three plans available on ExpressVPN: Basic, Advanced, and Pro. Each plan is available as one-month, 12-month, and 24-month plans with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
