How to Watch Doctor Who Online Without Disney+
If you’re tired of piling on the streaming subscriptions, try signing up for a VPN to watch Doctor Who.
ExpressVPN
By signing up for a VPN, you can access content that’s typically restricted based on your location. The BBC iPlayer will be broadcasting the specials at no additional cost, and those who do not live across the pond can use a VPN to access them. ExpressVPN is only $12.95/month and can be cancelled at any time. With a VPN, you can access other international series including the latest episodes from Naked Attraction, Married at First Sight Australia and more.
Changing your IP address with a VPN also helps shield your identity from websites, apps and services that want to track you. They also can prevent your Internet provider, mobile carrier — and anyone else who may be “listening” — from seeing your activity, thanks to a layer of strong encryption.
