How to watch the Fiesta Bowl from anywhere
College football fans traveling abroad can keep up with their usual viewing methods with the aid of a VPN, or virtual private network. VPNs are easy-to-use tech tools that let people change the location on their electronic devices, so that websites and apps work just like they would back home. They're also instant ways to improve online security and privacy, no matter where you are.
If you're not sure where to start when it comes to VPNs, NordVPN is one of the best on the market. It's a user-friendly option (even if you're a beginner) with an impressive selection of servers and cybersecurity perks. Plus, it has a 30-day money-back guarantee if you find that it's not what you're looking for. You can learn more about the app in our NordVPN review.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
