Geo-blocked? Watch through your friend's internet
Ali watches Formula 1 at home in Italy, but the stream only plays in Austria. His friend Pascal in Vienna sends him a Beam-in code - Ali goes online through Pascal's home internet and mirrors the race to his TV.
Ali about Awacino
- What I like
- One code from my friend, and the stream plays.
- Use case
- I use Awacino to go online through my friend's internet in Vienna.
- What works better than with alternative solutions
- No VPN service in between - the connection goes directly to my friend's home, and he decides how long.
Step by step
Step 1The stream is geo-blocked
Ali mirrors his iPad to the TV and opens the race stream: "This video is not available in your country" - it only plays in Austria.
Step 2A Beam-in code from a friend
Pascal in Vienna creates a Beam-in code for his home internet and sends it to Ali by email. Ali copies the code.
Step 3Connect with a code
In Awacino Ali taps Beam out, then Connect with a code, pastes the code and taps Connect.
Step 4Online through Pascal's internet
Ali's iPad now goes online through Pascal's home internet in Vienna - direct and end-to-end encrypted. Pascal can switch it off any time.
Step 5The race plays
The stream starts on the iPad - and, mirrored, on the big TV.
Why a friend's internet works better than a VPN service
Awacino does not route you through a VPN provider's servers. You go online through the home connection of someone you know.
No VPN subscription
You don't need an extra VPN provider. Awacino and a friend or colleague with a home connection in the right country are enough.
A real home connection
Streaming services block the known server addresses of VPN providers. Your friend's connection is an ordinary home internet line, not a VPN server - so there is no blocked VPN address.
Your friend stays in control
The Beam-in code is for you only. Your friend sees who uses it and switches it off with one tap after the race.
Direct and encrypted
The connection runs directly between your device and your friend's home, end-to-end encrypted - not through our servers.
TV, streaming and music
Sports, series, radio and music services that only play in one country - on your phone, tablet or laptop, and on the TV by screen mirroring.
