Parent company Intuit shuttered the app on March 24, 2024, and has prompted its users migrate to its other personal finance app, Credit Karma.

Thankfully, though, VPNs currently have the upper hand. With the right VPN service and a little elbow grease, you can access most, if not all, of the content you want to watch no matter your physical location.
How to watch streaming services with a VPN
1. Find the right VPN service and subscribe.
The first crucial step is to choose the correct VPN for your needs. While traveling, it's important to pick a VPN that has a larger server network, with many servers in your home country. You can usually find a list of the available servers on a VPN's website.
You'll then want to make sure that the VPN's servers will be able to unblock major streaming services. You can check out our best VPNs for Netflix roundup, or read our individual reviews to learn about any particular service's unblocking capabilities.
