🔧 Digital Tip

If you stream sports or TV content across regions, use a trusted VPN and pair it with private browsing or incognito mode. This helps mask your real IP and location but also avoids browser cookies or cached data that could reveal your actual region. That extra step increases privacy and reduces risk of detection without significantly slowing down your speed.
