How to watch HBO Max anywhere

When you use a VPN, your public-facing IP address changes, but it will always match the VPN server location you select. If you’re a US-based subscriber, whether you’re around the block or far from home, you’ll want to select a US location close to where you live. This will ensure fast, uninterrupted access to the shows you’re used to. 

If you are not using a VPN or choose a different location, the content available to you may change, or the service may not be available at all.

Yes, all our Plus servers are optimized for streaming. For example, if you’re a subscriber in Spain and connect to a Spanish server, you should see the content intended for that audience, including things like Spanish-language audio and subtitles that may not be available in other countries.

VPN usage is completely legal in most countries. So whether you’re using a VPN for streaming or simply to protect your privacy, you won’t risk breaking the law. However, please note that Proton VPN is a VPN service not intended to be used as a means of copyright circumvention. For more details, please read the Proton VPN Terms and Conditions of Service(new window) and the terms of use of the streaming service you’re using.
