A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you’re looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to overseas cricket or rugby matches that aren’t broadcast in the U.S., a VPN can help you out.

ExpressVPN offers “internet without borders,” meaning you can watch this weekend’s fight by tuning into the British broadcast for less than half of the PPV price. All you’ll need to do is sign up for ExpressVPN, change your server location to one in the U.K., and sign up for a monthly Discovery+ Premium subscription for £30.99 to stream UFC 322.
