How to watch the French Open with a VPN:

If you want to catch every match of the French Open and don't subscribe to Max or a live TV streaming service, in Australia, a majority of the action is streaming free with ads on 9Now, and in Austria, it's all streaming free with ads on ServusTV.

Don’t live in either of those places? Don't worry: You can still stream like you do with the help of a VPN (virtual private network). A VPN helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you're looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to the next F1 race without a cable package, a VPN can help. Looking to try a VPN for the first time? This guide breaks down the best VPN options for every kind of user.

ExpressVPN offers "internet without borders," meaning you can tune into an Austrian or Australian livestream this month as opposed to paying for another streaming subscription. All you'll need to do is sign up for ExpressVPN, change your server location and find free livestream coverage on 9Now or ServusTV.

ExpressVPN's added protection, speed and range of location options make it an excellent choice for first-time VPN users looking to stretch their streaming abilities, plus, it's Engadget's top pick for the best streaming VPN. New users can save 61% when they sign up for ExpressVPN's two-year subscription. Plus, the service offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, in case you're nervous about trying a VPN.
