Watch Big Brother Naija Outside Nigeria / Africa
BBNaija and other DSTV channels are only available in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and other African countries where DSTV is fully operational. People in the UK can watch via ShowMax without any restrictions.
This means that if you are on vacation outside these regions or a recent emigrant who desires to watch local content, you will be able to watch Big Brother Naija using a VPN or a Smart DNS Proxy.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection will let you hide your actual location while allowing you to pick any location supported by the service as your location. So, essentially they will enable you to bypass internet restrictions placed on the App.
The simple trick is in selecting a location where the content you want to watch is not Geo-Blocked. To choose a location, note that the VPN must have robust servers close to the selected location. Note, however, that recently DSTV now updates very sensitive ha. It has been making it difficult to bypass their Geo-Blocking or restrictions, even with using VPN. So, your access to the streaming service is likely to be off and on. This is just a tested and confirmed trick, and it is working fine.
