How to Watch The Affair Online?

In the past few years, we have all begun watching more and more content online. The difference is that the content that runs through live TV platforms and streaming services is all protected by licensing deals so you can't watch it when you're abroad. Basically, as soon as you cross the border and your IP changes, you're no longer going to have access to the platforms you pay money for. All you need to do in order to bypass this geoblockade is to change your IP address to trick the system into thinking you're still in the United States and for this, you're going to need to subscribe to a VPN service. We are even going to guide you through it.

• You need to start by thinking about which VPN you're going to use. We have reviewed thousands of these tools over the years, and we can recommend you go with ExpressVPN. Start by visiting ExpressVPN and subscribing to the service by following a few easy steps.
• Then, you can download the app that's right for your device and install it. Follow by launching the app and logging into your account.
• You should locate a server to connect to you, but you just have to make sure that it is located within the United States.
• When's the connection is established, you can load the live TV platform that you chose to watch The Affair on, such as Sling TV. Tune in at the right time and you can watch The Affair live.
