## What is LivingAbroad?

LivingAbroad keeps your home streaming with you when you travel.

LivingAbroad is a Smart DNS service and a lightweight version of a VPN. It uses an on-device VPN connection to route only your streaming to your home region - so your live TV and catch-up load as if you never left. Unlike a traditional full-tunnel VPN, it's built to carry your streaming DNS queries and leave the rest of your connection direct.

How it works
LivingAbroad sets up a VPN connection on your device and uses it to send only your supported streaming services through your home country. Browsing, other apps, and everyday traffic continue over your normal connection. There's no server list to choose and nothing to configure: it works in the background when you open a supported service.

Supported services
It covers the major UK and US streaming, live TV, and catch-up services that expats and travelers miss most. You watch with your own accounts - LivingAbroad handles the connection, not the subscription.

What you get

Live TV and catch-up from your home region
Routes only your streaming, no full-VPN slowdown
Automatic - works in the background, with no per-app setup
No server list and no manual configuration
Free to try

Why LivingAbroad instead of a full VPN
A traditional VPN sends everything through a remote server, which can slow your connection and interfere with banking or work apps. LivingAbroad is built to carry only your streaming, so the rest of your traffic stays on your normal connection. If you just want to keep watching your home channels while abroad, it's the simpler and more focused way.

Your privacy
LivingAbroad only routes traffic for the streaming services it supports. It doesn't sell your data or share it with third parties. You can review exactly what's collected and how it's used inside the app and in our privacy policy.

Who it's for
Travelers, expats on assignment, and students overseas — anyone who wants their home viewing to come along for the trip.
