HBO Max is dead, long live Max.

This “new” streaming service combines content from HBO Max and Discovery+. If you’re already subscribed to HBO Max, you don’t need to worry about adding a new streaming service. You’re sorted. If you’re a Discovery+ subscriber, you will need to sign up for Max if you want to access its content.

Max is only available in a select number of countries, so if you want to sign in from one of the many countries not included on this list(opens in a new tab), you’ll need to use a VPN to connect. Fortunately, the process is quick and easy.

How to unblock Max from anywhere in the world

To bypass Max’s geo-restrictions and unblock Max from anywhere in the world, you simply need to follow these steps:

1. Sign up to a VPN

2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

3. Open up the app and connect to a server in a country that supports Max

4. Connect to Max from anywhere in the world

If you don’t already have an account with Max and you’re hoping to subscribe from an unsupported location, you’ll need to create a new account using an American credit card or a gift card. This process is more complicated:

1. Open up your preferred VPN on your iOS/Android device and connect to a server in the U.S.

2. Create an Apple ID/Google Play account

3. Register your account on the app store

4. Download and install the Max app

5. Create a new account in the Max app with your email address and password

6. Pay with your PayPal account

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but most do offer generous money-back guarantees. By using these guarantees, you can unblock your Max subscription and then recover your investment when you return to a supported location. This obviously isn’t a long-term solution, but it works well if you’re travelling and want to keep up with your favourite shows from abroad.
