Why use a VPN to stream the U.S. Open
Since the U.S. Open is airing in just about a country in the world on one television network or another, for most it’s probably not necessary to utilize the services of a VPN (virtual private network) in order to stream the tournament.
Yet, they are some situations where it may be your best option (believe me, as a cyber nomad, I’ve been there).
- You live in one of the few unlucky countries without decent live coverage of the event.
- You live outside of the U.S. and don’t have a TV and/or don’t want to commit to an expensive lock-in contract with a cable or satellite provider.
If one of these situations applies to you, you might consider subscribing to a VPN service and anchoring your connection through a U.S. server in order to catch live streams on the Fox Sports or U.S. Open websites.
Getting a VPN comes with a host of other benefits:
- Surf the web anonymously without being tracked by your ISP or other prying eyes.
- Data encryption that protects you when logging on to public wifi networks.
- Bypass work and school filters and unblock censored websites.
- Obtain an IP address from any country in which your provider has a server, for any imaginable purpose.
How to use a VPN to stream the U.S. Open
- Buy a membership to a VPN. If you are hesitant to make a full investment, choose one that offers a free trial or money-back guarantee.
- Download the provider’s VPN client on your laptop, or the mobile device that you prefer to stream from.
- Connect to a server within the United States.
- Clear your browser’s cache so there’s no trace of your true geographical location.
- Go to usopen.com in order to catch live streams each day of the storied tournament.
