- Create a free Unlocator trial
- Configure your device to use Unlocator Smart DNS or VPN
- Go to the website of MAX or use their app if supported.
Over the past few years, a lot of networks have introduced us to their own streaming services. As of May 27th, 2020, WarnerMedia joined the mix by adding Max, previously known as HBO Max, to its already-existing streaming services. The channel includes more than 10,000 hours of premium content from HBO’s service, along with top titles from around the world, and a monthly offering of new Max Originals. However, the streaming service itself is only available in the United States due to geo-restrictions. If you want to access Max abroad, you’ll need a location spoofing tool such as Unlocator VPN or Smart DNS.
Unblock Max Outside the US With Unlocator Smart DNS
Just like most streaming services out there, Max applies geo-blocking. This mechanism restricts access to certain content according to the visitor/streamer’s location. The channel can determine a user’s IP address by checking his/her IP address. If it doesn’t match what’s required (A US IP), the user gets blocked almost instantly.
When Max determines where your traffic is coming from and it’s not in the United States, this error message will pop up:
“Not Available in Your Region Yet”
Now, with Unlocator Smart DNS, geo-restrictions won’t be an issue anymore. This technology spoofs your online location and helps trick the channel into thinking that you’re within its area of coverage. Once configured, Smart DNS will reroute a portion of your internet traffic that highlights your current location.
As a result, you’ll appear to be accessing Max from the United States and the channel will allow you to view its content no matter where you physically reside. As we mentioned, some chunks of your traffic are rerouted, which means that your IP address remains intact.
Keeping your IP address means that you get to also access your local channels as well as restricted ones simultaneously. Moreover, Smart DNS isn’t a security tool, so no encryption will be present. It might leave you compromised, but you’ll be streaming Max with minimal speed loss.
Note that as long as you’re using an official channel like Max, you’re ok. Configuring Unlocator Smart DNS is pretty simple and no extra software is needed. All you have to do is sign up for an Unlocator account and follow the setup guide that represents the platform you’re operating. Once done, you can enjoy Max anywhere in the world.
Watch Max Anywhere Using Unlocator VPN
Unlocator VPN is another credible location spoofer, but it comes with a different approach. Unlike Smart DNS, Unlocator VPN does change your IP address to match that required by the channel. It connects you to servers all around the world. Once connected, your data travels through a private tunnel, shifting your location, encrypting your data, and changing your IP address.
It is a very essential tool to maintain ultimate privacy and security. However, it also allows you to bypass regional restrictions and access blocked content all over the world. The service only allows users with a US IP address to access its content. If you connect to an American server using Unlocator VPN, that’s exactly what you’ll be getting.
Once you establish a connection, you’ll be able to watch Max wherever you may be. It’s very simple and we’re going to break it down for you. First, subscribe to Unlocator, then install the application Android, iOS, Mac, or Windows. Finally, connect to a US server and watch Max anywhere.
