How To Watch Binge in Canada

Traveling abroad but worried about missing out on your favorite shows on Binge? Well, it sure is something to fret about for a TV fanatic like me, as Binge is only available in Australia.

So, the million-dollar question that arises is How to watch Binge in Canada?

The content on Binge is geo-blocked due to content licensing. So, there’s no chance for you to watch it from Canada unless you bypass the geo-restrictions. Well, the scenario certainly seems quite gloomy.

But as the saying goes, there’s light at the end of a tunnel. Yes, there is a solution for this problem. The solution is to bypass the geographical boundaries digitally through a Virtual Private Network aka VPN.

Here I will provide you the best way to watch Binge in Canada that I tested personally. So without any further delay, let’s get started. 

What Is Binge and Why You Can’t Watch it in Canada?

Well, for those who haven’t heard of Binge, you are bound for some pleasant news. Binge is Australia’s one of the best VoD platforms owned by Foxtel (also owner of Kayo Sports). It is quite similar to the likes of Netflix, Disney+ and Stan.

It offers various cool shows and movies like The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Arrested Development, The Last of US and Harley Quinn to name a few.

Also, it has a massive list of HBO Max shows and movies. 

Binge’s most special feature is its ‘surprise me’ feature, which, as the name suggests, surprises its viewers by showing a play or movie which they haven’t seen yet. 

Now that’s something cool right?

As an Aussie in Canada, you are missing out on all the fun, but with the use of a reliable streaming VPN,  you’ll be all sorted in a matter of minutes.

What Is a VPN? And Why Is  It Required To Watch Binge in Canada?

A VPN is a tool through which you can bypass the geographical digital boundaries set up by digital companies to protect their licensing rights.

In easier words an online streaming service can allow users from their local region only to access their content. It verifies the users by an IP address through which they can locate the user’s current location. Now, suppose a user from Canada tries to access Binge he will receive the following message on his screen.

        “ Sorry, BInge is not available outside Australia. Error code:3004”     

Here the role of a VPN comes into action. A VPN hides your current  IP address and replaces it with an IP address from within the region (in this case Australia).

Hence, when the user now approaches the online streaming platform it accepts it considering it to be a local, and you get access to the online library!

These days with advances in technology, websites have become quite smart and easily detect a VPNs IP address. Therefore, you have to be smart in your choice and choose a premium quality VPN which does not get detected by the online channel.

Selecting The Best VPN To Watch Binge in Canada

“The world is a global village”  is a true saying, as people have easy access to another part of the world sitting miles away. And to connect people VPN plays an important role as it bypasses the geo restrictions set by different governments.

Hence, the VPN industry is growing rapidly and there are tons of VPN service providers. Therefore, it becomes an uphill task to select the Best VPN.

Below I have compiled some key features you should consider before purchasing a VPN:

• Have multiple servers in Australia.
• Be fast enough to avoid buffering. 
• Provide fool proof security,strong encryption,kill switches.
• Have excellent bypassing abilities. 
• Have an easy user interface to be easily accesible by people of all ages.
• Supportive and 24/7 available customer support.

The Top Three Best VPNs

ExpressVPN(Top recommendation)

ExpressVPN is my tried and tested option when it comes to VPNs. It provides blazing fast speed when browsing the internet or while downloading or uploading huge files. 

It easily bypasses the geo-boundaries because of the servers available in the same region.

As BInge is quite a latest addition to the streaming industry, it has a strict check on the IP address. Therefore it  instantly recognizes a VPN address and instantly blocks the user. 

In such a scenario, ExpressVPN quickly acts smart. Due to its AES 256-bit technology  it immediately changes the IP address to another one available.

ExpressVPN provides its users with military grade-encryption. It never saves any personal information of the user nor shares it with any third party. This  is one of the many features which elevates it to the top contender post.

The eight devices being used simultaneously on a single device is also an added feather in its cap.

And if you ever get stuck with its operation or face any trouble, the 24/7 available,  efficient and customer support will troubleshoot all your queries in a matter of no time.  

Hence, despite it being on the expensive side of the lot, such amazing factors easily make you overlook it.

NordVPN

Nord VPN boasts of the largest network of servers with around 5310+ servers in about 59+ countries. It has around 190+ servers in Australia located in 5 major cities (Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne). The Brisbane server works efficiently with Binge.

It offers unlimited bandwidth with the maximum downloading speed. When tested on a 100 Mbps connection, I found its downloading speed to be around 86.49Mbps and 79.42 uploading speed.

NordVPN provides AES 256-Bit Encryption, Obfuscated servers, IP Leak protection, IKEv4 protocols and Onion Over VPN

The subscription charges for NordVPN are AU$5.1/month and you get an extra 60% off when you apply for a 2 year plan, the cherry on apple being the one month money-back guarantee 

Surfshark VPN

Surfshark VPN is one of the most budget friendly VPNs of the lot. It comes with an amazing subscription plan of AU$3.86/mo and an astonishing 83% off, if you go for the 2 year subscription plan including a 30-day money back guarantee deal. 

Surfshark has 3200+ servers in 65+ different countries worldwide, including 20+ servers in Australia itself. Try the Sydney server for best results.

When tested on a 100Mbps connection,it gave the downloading speed of 88.18Mbps and an uploading speed of 80.13Mbps

Despite its low price range, Surfshark offers top notch security to its consumers. It provides AES-256 Encryption , Multi-hop servers to maintain your privacy and Camouflage Mode.

It’s only drawback is it takes a while to connect.

Binge Subscription Packages

Since Binge is not a free streaming website you have to subscribe to it first. It has different packages suitable for individuals or families according to their requirements. 

Binge provides a 14-day trial for its users. So, if you aren’t satisfied with your package you can always try an alternative one.

Following are the different packages Binge provides to its consumers.

Wrap up

BINGE is the latest streaming service from Down Under.  It offers a vast variety of content for its users that you can select and Binge watch during the weekend or any time you want to.

However, as this service does not work in Canada, you have to use a reliable VPN. ExpressVPN is my top recommendation as its the most reliable, easy to use and fast VPN available in the industry.
