How to watch free HBO via VPN
Don't worry, everything we're about to show you to explain how to watch HBO for free is 100% legal. Despite what the acronym VPN might suggest, the only extra step you'll need to take is installing a Google Chrome browser extension, which is available in the Chrome Web Store. Let's get started!
Step-by-step guide to watch HBO without paying
- From our Google Chrome browser, we access the Chrome Store, either by searching it on Google or clicking on this direct link to the Google app store.
- We search for and install a VPN extension. There are many, although we are quite happy with the one we have tried (and for which we take 0 commission by recommending it): Touch VPN. If it fails you can also try Hola VPN.
Find out how to watch HBO for free with our guide using TOUCH VPN.
- From the browser, we open the extension and select the United States. In this way, our connection will pass to masquerade to pretend to be a computer connected to the network from the US.
- We have good access to hbonow.com, hbogo.com or to one of its associated apps.
- You will see that, unlike what would happen if we did not use VPN, the web does not redirect us to HBO Spain but, in fact, we see the same thing that an Internet user connected from the United States would see.
- We access the free content section. It's called "STREAM FOR FREE: NO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED."
- We select which movie or series from HBO we want to watch online for free.
- We heat popcorn.
And that's it. Among HBO's catalog of free content, series like The Wire and The Sopranos stand out, the company's two biggest heavyweights along with Game of Thrones and Westworld.
How to watch HBO for free for 14 days
To watch HBO Spain for free without limitations (all of Game of Thrones online and an excellent catalog of series and movies) for two weeks, you need to enter your credit card details.
If we don't want to pay the monthly fee of 9 euros that would be applied after those 14 days, we just need to set an alarm on our phone and CANCEL OUR HBO ACCOUNT before the two weeks are up.
Stay strong, Spaniards and people of the world, during this lockdown. Close your eyes and try to visualize a future that is getting closer every day ; a future in which we will remember all this as a bad dream. A great story to tell. Together we will get through this.
