By now, you probably know the drill: only leave your home for essentials, wash your hands thoroughly, and stay well away from all other living beings except for the ones you live with.
From Alaska to Australia, the coronavirus has the world on lockdown. One of the few ways to see the glass as even remotely half-full during such worrying times is to think about all the great TV shows you can finally watch - and this weekend, HBO is here to help.
The US cable channel has announced that as of Saturday, April 4 it will offer a number of its best-loved and most critically acclaimed shows for free streaming - think The Wire, The Sopranos, and Succession. Thereās loads of movies on offer, too, from classics like The Bridges of Madison Country to newer, family-friendly flicks like The Lego Movie 2.
This is particularly fantastic news for anyone in the US, as all you need to do if youāre in America is head to HBO Now (or HBO Go on mobile devices) and start streaming away. For those Americans finding themselves outside of the country, geo-blocking restrictions are likely to stand in your way - but thereās still a way to watch HBO shows for free online wherever you happen to be. Keep reading for more details.

How to stream HBO for free and watch online from outside the US
If you typically watch HBO services like HBO Now and HBO Go in the US but find yourself out of the country at present and in lockdown, thereās still an easy way to tap in as usual. All you need to do is use a clever bit of software called a VPN, which will steer you around any geo-blocking restrictions you may encounter and let you watch HBO online just like you would from home.
