Not going to be near your usual TV set up for this year’s BAFTAs? Not to worry, you can still stay glued to the glamour and the goings on with a VPN.
A VPN allows you to change your IP address to that of the area of what you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to the broadcast, even if you’re not there.
