How to Watch ZDF Sport Live Stream Abroad
How to Watch ZDF Sport Live outside Germany – Use VPN
VPN is short for Virtual Private Network. If you use VPN ALL of your Internet traffic will get tunnelled to the VPN server location “In this case Germany”, and the traffic will all be encrypted. This makes online services believe you are actually located in Germany. Once you setup VPN on your stream device, you will be able to bypass the ZDF geo-location error. “Diese Sendung kann Ihnen leider wegen rechtlicher Beschränkungen nicht angeboten werden.” Some additional VPN features are :
- All Internet traffic is encrypted, no spying or traffic logging by ISPs on you.
- If your VPN provider supports it you should get easy to use Apps for ipad,iphone,ipod,Android, Mac and Windows.
- Once you have downloaded and installed the VPN app, launch it and connect to a German VPN server. You can now access any German site from anywhere in the world. This includes Sky.de, ZDF, ARD, ProSieben, and Zattoo.
- Even the best VPN service providers induce a 10% Internet speed reduction.
- Since all traffic is routed, some local sites might break while you are using VPN in Germany. You can set VPN back to USA or otherwise to unblock USA sites such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, WWE Network and the likes.
I have been using ExpressVPN for quite a while, they are one of the earliest VPN providers online. They do have apps for all major devices and it should probably take a few minutes from signup to watching ZDF Sport Live online outside Germany.

How to Stream ZDF Sport Live outside Germany – Use Smart DNS Proxy
Smart DNS Proxies are different from VPN. Only a part of your Internet traffic is re-routed. This part of traffic normally the address that helps servers such as Netflix and ZDF identify where you are coming from. A few notes about Smart DNS are below :
- ZDF Sport, WWE Network, Hulu Plus ,BBC Iplayer, Canal Plus and CBC are all supported without changing your initial configuration.
- Setup is very easy, all you have to do is change the DNS IP on your device. See the Video and Picture guides for setup here
- There is no encryption which means there is no speed reduction.
I do use Unlocator for Smart DNS services. They have a free 7 day trial, 214 supported channels, and the best documentation and support in the Smart DNS Proxy market.
