How to watch Taskmaster with a VPN

If you wish to watch the latest Taskmaster episodes outside the UK, you’ll need a VPN.

A VPN (virtual private network) routes your internet connection through a server. While there are servers worldwide, to watch Taskmaster, you’ll require one based in the UK.

This allows the Channel 4 website to not detect your actual location when creating an account – it will assume you’re in the UK no matter where you are. Consequently, you should be able to create an account without any restrictions.

During our trials, NordVPN has consistently unblocked the service multiple times. It’s user-friendly, offers a variety of servers to choose from, and has competitive pricing, particularly with long-term plans (though monthly plans are also available).
