How to stream The Traitors UK from the US and beyond
As previously mentioned, The Celebrity Traitors UK is accessible online through BBC iPlayer. This platform features a variety of BBC-produced content available exclusively to residents of the UK. However, if you are on vacation or located overseas when the series airs, the process becomes a bit more complex.
To access the BBC streaming service, a suitable VPN application is required. A VPN, or virtual private network, can mask your location and allow you to visit foreign websites. There are many VPN options available, but not all can bypass BBC iPlayer’s restrictions. A trusted choice is NordVPN, which is both cost-effective and user-friendly.
Below is a guide to using iPlayer through this VPN service.
1.
Register for NordVPN

Sign up here. The Complete plan is selected by default, but if you only require the VPN, opt for Get Standard. Choose a payment plan of either two years, one year, or one month at the top.
Complete the setup process by creating your account and making your payment.
2.
Download the NordVPN application

If you’re on a mobile device, just search for NordVPN in the app store and install it.
For Windows users, log into your NordVPN account using a web browser, go to the Downloads section, and select Download app next to Get NordVPN for Windows. After downloading, run the file to install it.
3.
Open NordVPN

Launch the application and log in using the email and password you set during the registration process. You should see a layout similar to this on Windows, and other platforms will resemble it closely.
Utilize the location list (the pin icon in the upper left corner) or navigate the map to find the UK and select Connect to London. If prompted, grant NordVPN permission to establish a VPN connection. You may need to provide your Windows password or, for mobile devices, your passcode.
4.
Wait for VPN connection

You should receive a notification indicating that the VPN connection is successful. A green CONNECTED notification along with a padlock icon should appear over the United Kingdom on the interface.
5.
Access iPlayer

Now open the BBC iPlayer app or, if you are on Windows, visit the iPlayer website.
Log in with your BBC account (create one if needed), and you’ll be ready to watch. The VPN will ensure seamless playback as it makes it appear you are in the UK.
If you have a valid UK residence with a paid licence, just log into your BBC account and utilize a VPN as outlined above. Note that streaming via a VPN still contradicts the terms and conditions, similar to overseas users signing up with fictitious UK addresses.
