As the charity event is exclusive to NBC, anyone from the US abroad will not see it simulcast in places like the UK, Canada or Australia. Similarly, trying to tune in to NBC like you would from home is probably impossible due to geo-blocking restrictions. We know this may not be a likely scenario for many, due to the travel restrictions associated with the coronavirus, but the fact remains that people are still required to travel, and some are sadly stranded abroad during this difficult time. Fortunately, there is a solution in the form of a VPN. This nifty piece of software changes your IP address so that you can access all the content you normally would at home, from anywhere in the world.
