Foxtel GO is an Australian streaming channel that offers live and on-demand content. Foxtel is geoblocked outside Australia. For example, if you live in the USA, UK, Canada, China, India, or some other country outside Australia, you can watch Foxtel outside Australia by using VPN. VPN helps you bypass any geographical restrictions set by Foxtel, and watch unlimited streaming of your favorite channels sitting outside of Australia. Foxtel can be watched on most devices including your PC, Mac, Android, iPhone, and iPad.
How to Watch Foxtel Go outside Australia using a VPN
So, using a VPN is really straightforward and you’re not going to need to lean forward to understand how. Basical,ly a VPN’s job is to change over your computer’s IP address to one in which it will allow streaming. In this case, you need an Australian IP address as Foxtel only works in Australia. VPN also unblocks on other sites such Netflix, Showtime, Shomi, Willow TV, and more. Changing your computer’s virtual location is necessary as Foxtel does not allow you to stream channels while being outside of Australia.
- First, you will want to sign up with a VPN provider. There are many out there and they are all mostly capable of doing the job.
- You will need a VPN which assigns you an Australian IP address to unblock content on Foxtel.
- VPN has apps which can be installed on each device you plan on watching Foxtel on. Fortunately, most VPN’s are compatible with most devices including a PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and your Android.
- VPN’s will not only give you the desired location of your choice, they will also give you an extra layer of privacy and security – protecting your connection from possible hackers and frauds. VPN practically encrypts all of your traffic.
There are hundreds on VPN’s to choose from when you enter the market, and one of those VPN’s is ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN is a VPN you can use for unblocking Foxtel outside of Australia, and can also unblock other sites which geoblock users. ExpressVPN also comes with a thirty day refund policy and 24/7.

How to Unblock and Watch Foxtel Go outside Australia via VPN
Using VPN, you can unblock Foxtel, SBS, TenPlay, Stan, or FetchTV outside Australia. No more geo-restrictions on Australian channels abroad.
I can add my 2 Bob’s worth. No VPN works at all with Foxtel Go I’ve tried the best to the worst read all their BS. They work with everything else that I tried ie Stan, 7, 9,10 etc. I was having success with Smart DNS proxy and was working fine for several months. That stopped I them moved to Getflix worked good for a few days then same PS461 error. You can download Kayo to Apple TV using Smart DNS service and all the others apart from Foxtel Go. I’m also told it actually the Foxtel App which is the issue. I was happy to give Foxtel Go my money but apparently they’re that flush they don’t want it. So if anyone else has answers I’m happy to hear all about it.
IP Vanish is working for my iPad but not my laptop. I accidentally connected without the VPN active and it hasn’t work since. Tried clearing cookies, etc but still no luck.
Have you tried using another browser i.e Firefox instead of Chrome for instance?
Hi
Is there any news about ExpressVPN or any others getting around the block on Foxtel Go?
Still seems to work on the PC browser site.
Foxtel is actively blocking all VPN locations and protocols. Hopefully ExpressVPN can get around it eventually. I have been waiting for a month so far but still no solution
Foxtel go no longer works using Aust location – vpn- get error message ps461 unable to download to server? Can this be fixed as this is why I purchased your vpn?
Have you tried using a different Aussie location from within the VPN application?
According to ExpressVPN support, Foxtel is aggressively blocking ip addresses of VPN providers in the last few weeks. PureVPN also told me that their sites are also currently blocked by Foxtel. It’s hard to fathom why the propeller heads at Foxtel are blocking their own subscribers who legitimately travel overseas.
Have you tried giving it another go recently?
I haven’t heard of any VPN service getting Foxtel to work since Oct 31st. Express VPN says they are working on it but it has been 3 weeks and no change. Checked in today…same story. If anyone (or Charles) has it working then please let me know.
Give it another try now. Should be working.
I tried today 2nd Feb and no luck (expressvpn). None of the servers allows access. I get a message “access denied. You don’t have permission to access “http://watch.foxtel.com.au/” on this server”. I try on a regular basis but this is all I see. I can not even login to my Foxtel account. Their whole site is a bit silly, because if I need to change anything whilst overseas I am blocked out due to being out of the country.
Anyone had any luck recently?
Foxtel did something in the last update. They have obviously identified and blocked ExpressVPN ‘s Australian IP addresses.
Hi,
I switched a couple weeks ago from PIA to expressVPN and I can’t get foxtel to work. I can login but it says “It appears we are unable to continue streaming to this IP address” I contacted tech support and was told they would let the engineers know but I am not sure how long this will take. If you got it to work let me know how? Thanks
Hi there. It usually only takes them a couple of days to get it sorted.
Thanks, Ill keep trying and see what happens
Pure VPN support also reported it is not working.
Does anyone have any working VPN with Foxtel in November 2019 ?
PIA was working last time I used it about 3/4 weeks ago. I recently switched to ExpressVPN which isn’t working and am considering moving back.
Give it another try now.
Did extensive troubleshooting with Express VPN and they couldn’t solve the issue. Sydney 3 is the only server you can login to Foxtel with but it won’t allow you to stream. Express VPN say they have not tested their servers for use with Foxtel so it shouldn’t be recommended as it often is. Seems Foxtel have blocked that IP address.
Are you still facing the same problem now?
I’m in the same boat as Robyn. I’m trying to watch Foxtel Go using express VPN. Has been great but stopped working yesterday. Error message PS461 – it appears we are unable to continue streaming to this IP address. Help!!
Try to get in touch with ExpressVPN’s support crew. They should be able to sort it out.
I am in japan and was successfully using express VPN with Foxtel, but in the past few days it is now blocking me…so can’t say this works anymore either
Hello Robyn. What device are you using? Have you tried connecting to a different Aussie server?
I will be in Hong Kong when the final episode of Game of Thrones goes to air.
I assume I’ll need a VPN to access my Foxtel Go.
My net access will be via either local wifi, or via my Vodafone ‘use like home’ 4G connection as a hotspot.
If I am accessing via my Vodafone service, will Foxtel assume I AM in Australia, or will I still need a VPN?
And if I need one, what works with Foxtel Go?
Expats in png bring up old foxtel box from friends and then put a dish on there roof to get foxtel . Will all foxtel boxes work overseas
Ha ha ha, *Expats…
I am trying to watch the new season 6 of wentworth in the US. I was told to download a vpn on my phone which I have done. Where do I go from there? New season starts tonight. Please help!
Hi
I have private internet access (pia) and can access everything but foxtel overseas. When I connect to foxtel the shows come up but when I activate play a rotating circle appears and nothing else happens. Very frustrating when you subscribe to foxtel and cannot access it. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Hello Ross. On what devices are you trying to watch Foxtel abroad? Have you tried connecting to a different Australian VPN server?
On my foxtel in Australia, I can search and find the movie ‘A United Kingdom’ but its protected and I can’t select it. Why?
But will foxtel let you get a subscription if you dont use austrlian details and creditcard
Nope, I tried and they require an Aussie issued credit/debit card to sign up for the free 7 day trial
You can’t get Foxtel with NordVPN
Only occasionally I have managed on nord VPN. Yes mostly impossible
Hi I signed up for a 3free day train with NordVPN and I couldn’t get Foxtel ,even there live chat said I wouldn’t be able to
nord vpn does not allow you to stream foxtel they are still somehow able to block all aus based servers
Hi
Foxtel in Australia as many different packages, does this unblock all of them, or do you still have to subscribe, to them?
Reason for asking, am seriously thinking of Getting VPN or DNS package just not quite sure if I can work out how to use it, not very computer minded, but doing lots of research, that’s how I came across your site, which one is the easiest to use, or are they both much the same, To use and set up?
Thanks Peter
Hi Peter. You’d still need a Foxtel subscription as VPN and Smart DNS only help you bypass the geographic restrictions.
