🌍 Travel Hack

Use a VPN with split tunnelling when you travel to stream live sports or geo-restricted content. Split tunnelling lets you route only the streaming app through the VPN while keeping your regular web traffic direct, which usually improves connection speed and reduces buffering. This setup helps ensure you can access your home content library, live event feeds and scores even when abroad, while still enjoying fast internet for other services on your device.
