2024.05.20 02:50 johnk442 Hi, noob freelance support with hacked client: I have questions

Hello, and TIA. I have a home networking question; please do advise and forgive me if I have posted in the wrong subreddit, or posted the wrong question, etc.
* * * *
TL;DR: Client got hacked, bad, and wants a new laptop installed instead of fixing old system.
-> Can I simply install the new system and connect it to the Internet without worrying about the previous hack, since 1) the client left two obvious password files on his computer desktop, and 2) Avast gave a warning of open router ports? His ISP is Spectrum, so I don't have access to open/close any ports individually as far as I know, even from within the My Spectrum app.
-> Would a factory reset of the router work, or even be advisable?
* * * *
I am basically new to computer tech support, and while I have a piece of paper saying I have studied networking, I have never had the opportunity to actually work in the field. So I am being ultra-cautious with a client who got hacked.
I have many years' experience using software and PCs but only 1 1/2 years in actually doing stuff in this new arena. I was a contractor (eww? but I did gain experience) for a year and now am a part-time, bottom-feeding freelancer, helping senior citizens with stuff that's hard for them but that I can do (ISP router and modem setup, printer connection and TS and repair, system research and recommendation, data transfer, OS reset, etc) without negatively impacting them. I happen to live in a retirement mecca, so...
Anyway, I have a client who got hacked, bad, (RAT with accessible password files, multiple-file deletion, etc), and he wants a new laptop - he thinks we can just plug it in and connect it to the internet, and all will be well; he is disconnecting and storing the old laptop and the data thereon rather than face the difficulties of remediation, which would be beyond my current capabilities. I tried referring out to a PC tech company but the client instead wants a new system.
Avast gave a network warning saying there are open ports on the router. Given that the hack was a RAT and that the client literally had two files named "Passwords...[date]" on his desktop, and that the hacker presumably has them, as well as the previous access info for his router, I am concerned that simply hooking up the new laptop will be a disaster, as for one thing, it will be a while before the client can change all the passwords, disconnect logged in accounts, set up 2FA, etc.
His ISP is Spectrum, so I don't know how or if the hacker actually got blocked ports, unblocked. I just checked Spectrum's site and there is an extensive list of the ports Spectrum itself blocks. So, I don't even know if the Avast warning was anything to worry about.
Thanks for all answers, and if I have posted in the wrong subreddit, please advise and forgive.

2024.05.19 11:40 Magua87 Stormwater connection woes

Kia ora. A few months after buying my house in Auckland (years ago now, no option to seek redress with the seller now) I noticed that my house wasn't connected to the stormwater network. Back in the January floods of last year, I found the old system of clay pipes when digging around my yard to stop my house from flooding.
I've followed the pipes it as far as the boundary line. I tried to get a drainage team to unblock it, assuming this is why someone decided to disconnect it, but they had no luck. Something is amiss out beyond my boundary. There are a bunch of pest trees on the berm, which council should be responsible for. Current thinking is that these have blocked and broken my clay pipes, but I can't prove it. I'd need to follow the pipes through public land. And just to make things complicated, there's a transformer on the berm.
I have the drainage plans for my house, but it doesn't show stormwater, only blackwater. However, my guttering once fed through pipes beyond the boundary and there are cesspits down the street and across the road.
I'm at a bit of a loss where to go. Has anyone faced a similar situation? Despite being on public land, the pipes are my responsibility until they join the network. I probably need to bring this to the attention of Council or Auckland Transport, but I don't want too many questions being asked. I certainly don't have the money for a new connection.

2024.05.16 19:20 ThisTooShallPass-108 Can I bypass IP blocking for indexes without spending anything?

tl;dr I am hoping to find a way for my prowlarr to get access to these indexes without paying for a vpn.
First things first. Why I do not want to use a VPN like other sane people? Because I don't have to, I live in a 3rd world country where no one gives a shit about catching people that use torrent. I am hosting a arr* stack consisting of these apps on a ubuntu server from a old laptop. Shoutout to YAMS that made setting this up a cake walk.
Right now my server works as all traffic from prowlarr and qbitorrent goes through mullvad but it does not have to because I want to be safe but because I do not have a choice.
I loved using mullvad and honestly I would choose to stick with it in future. But it costs same amount of money that could let me upgrade my network from a 40Mbps to 200Mbps which I really want.
Before I hosted this stack and did all the torrenting manually, I would just enable this add on called VeePN and that unblocked all the indexes I use: 1337x, bitsearch, yts, eztv.
I don't want to bind my torrent client to use a vpn, just the prowlarr so that I can fetch those juicy magnet links.

2024.05.16 07:31 Ace_Shadow05 Hosting a Minecraft server. Receiving errors when trying to connect over public IP.

Hello all, I have server hosted minecraft servers modded and vanilla for some time now. I ran into some issues when i first started getting into it but consider myself a pro at this point in time. I recently have been unable to connect to my servers as of March of this year. We had our internet upgraded and Received a new modem and router as a result of our old router failing in November. However after getting everything set up and port forwarded I had no other issues. It worked fine till March, I just got home from college and began to trouble shoot this issue and tried to make a pixelmon reforged server for it. I have tried everything I can think of to try to fix this issue including calling my ISP (Spectrum) to see if we can resolve this. Their only thing left to do is to replace the router with a new one from them or a third party. If you have any idea on what I can do let me know.
Things I have tried to do:
First i created the server through the ATlauncher. I was able to run the server fine and connect using my private IP. I then tried using my public IP and recieved the following error "io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection timed out: no further information:" first thing i did was make sure the port was open on my windows defender fire wall. Made two new rules for port 25565 on both TCP & UDP for both inbound and outbound and did the same on the computer i was using to connect to the server. Still gave the same error. Then I tried port forwarding the router. This was the first issue I ran into, when trying to port forward 25565 on my router I get an error tried this a few time before i called spectrum, according to them on the router I have that port is disabled for "security reasons" and the only way to "unblock" it is with a new router. figured id just put the server on a different port. I changed the server to 25566 and ran through the same trouble shooting as before with no luck. this time i was able to port forward 25566 but with the same io.netty error. Thinking it might be something to do with java i clean installed java with the version of SDK for that server same error. Completely disabled my windows defender, same error. Tried creating a server for 1.20.6 (latest release), walked through all the steps, YouTube video and all. but instead I receive this error when trying to connect Connection timed out: getsockopt. I talked with a friend who know more about servers than me. His response was "The maths not mathing". I called spectrum a second time and walked through every troubleshooting method they had. Included but not limited to trying it with uPNP on/off, restarting router, modem, and all devices on the network, clearing all ports and reserved IPs, disabling and re-enabling the security shield. Nothing worked the guy I was on the phone with has no clue why I cant host a server. He recommended getting a new spectrum router so my public address resets, and then if that doesn't work to purchase a 3rd party router to manage myself. I wanted to try a few things before doing that. So I sent the server files to two friends. one uses spectrum one does not, neither have any ports forwarded and have never hosted servers before. walked through the same process with both of them and the friend with spectrum could also only connect locally while the other that doesn't have spectrum we could connect to. I am lost and am convinced spectrum just sucks and won't admit that they don't let you server host anymore.
TL:DR - Tried all trouble shooting i can think of, spectrum told me to get a new router because they cant figure it out either
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

2024.05.15 22:51 devpat89 Not able to log in - IP blocked after single attempt

Update: marking this as solved. I don't know what caused the lock out - I'm 100% certain I only entered my password once. "Resolution" if it counts: I'm thankful I had the DSfinder app installed on my ipad through which I was able to see "IP Blocking" settings and managed to unblock the IP address of my PC. Had forgotten I had installed it on that device. Don't think it contributed to the issue as again, device is WiFI only and never open the Synology app. Just massively relieved!
Hi All,
Would appreciate some help here. I'm really confused what's going on.
Background
I last logged into my DSM 2 days ago on my PC. Just tried to log in right now and something odd happened, I'm used to signing in by entering my password followed by 2FA code even though it's my personal device. This time on attempting to sign on to my admin account, after entering my username I received a message to validate my log in using the Synology Secure SignIn app instead of entering a password. I do not have the app. I tried another non-admin account, still the same message. Upon attempting to log in with a password, instead I receive a message saying too many failed attempts have been made to log in and the IP address has been blocked. To be clear, I had not made any prior attempts from my personal device (it was sleeping until about 5 minutes before I attempted to log in). Although I couldn't access my DSM account, I was still able to access my mapped network drives. I tried to restart my PC and tried to log in again, but same result, and this time no luck with accessing mapped network drives either.
Edit to add: I never log into my NAS through any other devices besides this PC in my home network.
Existing Security
My NAS is exposed to the internet only via Plex. It is port forwarded so not the standard 32400 and behind a double nat. Plex has a secure password and also has 2FA.
I have firewall rules set up so only can be accessed in my country of origin UK, and after 3 or 5 wrong attempts I believe it blocks the IP. Prior to this I've never had any attempts made on my NAS.
I have my original admin account disabled, and the new one is super obscure. My password is beyond what is reflected here: https://caltechsites-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/imss/images/2023_Password_Table_Square.original.jpg
In addition, I haven't logged into my authenticator app on this device.
Oddities
One of the drives I have is dedicated to media. I'm still able to access this through Plex. I run Plex through docker and I am still able to access this through my NAS IP address.
Edit to add: I have DLNA enabled on my NAS, I'm able to access media through this as well (including through my PC).
I have another laptop that was also sleeping. I've just switched it on, it is still connected to my mapped network drives and I can access the majority of them (different limited access credentials), but none of the content is blocked by any means. I never attempt to log into DSM through this laptop. Only the initial mapping of the drives.
I've not received any emails notifying that I've been hacked/my content has been locked until I pay
Synology assistant isn't having luck finding the Synology NAS on the network at all either.
Maybe related
I've requested a speed upgrade from my internet provider. They've sent me a new router and asked me to plug it in within 5 days. I've not done this yet and was actually logging into my DSM account to double check all my settings prior to switching out.
If you're still reading, thanks so much!
At this point I'm clueless if it's something malicious or not. I'm going to run Malwarebytes overnight on my PC. Is there a chance that a change at my ISP side could result in the above?
I'm thinking worst case scenario I've been hacked, but let's say I have a keylogger on my machine, is it possible for them to break into my NAS based on my passwords alone? My 2FA is always from my personal phone and I don't log into that on my PC. Really not sure how else they could have gotten access, and again, no emails or anything, nothing has been zipped.
Would appreciate your help / suggestions on what I can do here please!
Thanks!

2024.05.15 12:26 Brave_New_Dev How to clearly communicate not yet reachable map nodes on an adventure map?

I've been grappling with a complex issue that arose a few days ago. Specifically, I'm working on an adventure map, a 2D bottom-up network of interconnected nodes really, that represent the player's exploration options, past choices, and future possibilities. The map in Slay the Spire serves as a useful reference for this.
In designing the solution, I don't have the problems with: + Showing current player options. I simply connect the player node with the following nodes directly above, while the connection is an animated dashed line. + Showing past decisions. Each visited map node is specially marked while not visited ones are grayed out.
However, I struggle with properly communicating the not-yet reachable map nodes, which WILL become reachable in the following nodes.
Why is it problematic? + If I don't connect the 1+ above future layers of map nodes (representing future levels/decision moments), they seem disconnected and do not communicate that the player WILL be able to reach them. + If I connect each actual connection, given that I can move to any next-level node from each level's node, this results in myriad connections even with a simple setup of 2x nodes now and 3x nodes next. + Focusing on aesthetically displaying the connections (so only showing the connections that look nice, especially do not cross each other) results in a "lie", as I don't show the actual connections and options the player will have.
This is quite a problem, as I either don't communicate all of the actual options to the player; or I communicate them in a messy, ugly way; or I don't communicate it at all :D
I can present some screenshots, as I did not see this option in the post creator.
I'm truly grateful for any insights or suggestions you can provide to help me overcome this challenge and unblock my project.

2024.05.14 20:16 xampl9 Codes vs Programs

I’ve noticed more people starting to refer to software as β€œcodes”.
I think this is an Indian-English thing, but I’m not sure.
I am sure that I find it annoying.
From HN:
Supercomputer admins would love to have a single code that used the whole machine, both the compute elements and network elements, at close to 100%. In fact they spend a significant fraction on network elements to unblock the compute elements, but few codes are really so light on networking that the program scales to the full core count of the machine.
They even used both terms. Grrr. Pick a side, dammit.

2024.05.13 08:56 datashrimp29 Understanding the Current Dynamics in the Caucasus Region

For those unfamiliar with the current events in the Caucasus, the region is experiencing notable political fluctuations. Georgia and Armenia are grappling with internal instabilities, while Azerbaijan observes from a seemingly stable position.
In Georgia, the government is pushing forward a foreign agents law perceived as pro-Russia and anti-Western. This comes despite promises from influential Georgian leader Ivanishvili to steer the country towards EU membership by 2030. Meanwhile, Armenia is cautiously distancing itself from Russia, evidenced by moves like the removal of FSB agents from Zvartnots Airport and parts of its border. At the same time, Yerevan is the epicenter of anti-government protests.
Azerbaijan's President Aliyev is engaging in high-level discussions, meeting with leaders like Russia's President Putin and Germany's Chancellor Scholz, as well as other Eastern European leaders. The country is also planning significant investments in weapons manufacturing and various developmental projects.
So, what does this mean on a larger scale? Starting with Azerbaijan, according to Armenian expert Boris Navasardyan, the signing of a declaration of allied cooperation on February 22, 2022, and its reaffirmation last month, has cemented Azerbaijan's sovereignty. Among all post-Soviet states, only the Baltic countries and Azerbaijan have managed to secure their national security independently of Russia, thanks to alliances with NATO and Turkey, respectively.
There appears to be an understanding between Aliyev and Putin wherein Russia will withdraw from Azerbaijan, with Aliyev assuring that Western influence in the region will not expand. This arrangement is favorably viewed by both Iran and Turkey. Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan has capitalized on the perception of Armenia leaning towards the West, gaining Putin's consent to remove some Russian forces around the Megri road, thereby increasing the likelihood of unblocking transportation routes and advancing a peace agreement. In essence, Armenia consents to usage of the Zangezur road by Azerbaijan, equating the Zangezur Corridor with the Nakchivan Corridor (connection from the West of Armenia to the South through Nakchivan). There has been a discussion of managing these corridors via a third party company with equal ownership.
However, this is perhaps the limit of what Pashinyan can achieve with his pro-Western stance, as the West recognizes Russia's significant leverage over Armenia, which includes complete control over energy, rail systems, extensive military bases, and a sprawling spy network. This situation possibly explains why the U.S. ambassador was permitted by the U.S. administration to visit Shusha, a visit we might soon expect from the French ambassador as well.
Regarding Georgia, the challenge lies in balancing its aspirations to join the EU and NATO with maintaining profitable economic relations with Russia. Ivanishvili's ideal scenario would mirror countries like Hungary and Slovakia, which manage EU membership while maintaining unique relationships with Russia. For Putin, a loyal Georgia within the EU is preferable to an estranged one outside it. Thus, by adopting this new law, Ivanishvili aims to reduce Western influence and demonstrate loyalty to Russia.
Another crucial factor influencing the region is the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. The outcome of this conflict could significantly impact Armenia and Georgia, whereas Azerbaijan has more or less secured its position by strengthening ties with Russia, the EU, and through the Shusha declaration with Turkey.

2024.05.12 20:19 th-yei Me (19M) and my girlfriend (19F), what can I do not to be jealous?

Sorry for my bad english
Well, I have been with my girlfriend for a little over 2 years, I am M19 F19, we are about to start college and there are changes that I did not expect so soon.
My girlfriend is not one to have a lot of friends or girlfriends in general, she always had 1 or 2 at most and lately we are spending more time together than we have in a while.
She started talking to high school classmates these days and I was happy that she had friends outside of our relationship.
She started talking to a guy she met before she met me, she told me once that she used to like him a few years ago, and a few months ago we had a discussion in which she mentioned that she dreamed about him doing romantic things and it didn't affect me because I knew it was part of her past but I found it weird, since she almost took it as an excuse to end the relationship, according to me because she was confused.
These days she started to make contact with him and a few more friends that she told me about making a group between them, when she mentioned it to me I felt a little surprised and a little insecure, I mentioned it to her and she told me calm is just that I want to have friends and I thought it was a good idea to contact them and take the friendship again well, I replied it seems good but I just wanted wue keep in mind that it makes me a little uncomfortable that situation, but I do not want you to change or stop talking to her then ended that conversation without getting to much , just me accepting the idea.
Yesterday we went to an event in which I went away from her for a while to go to the bathroom telling her that I would wait for her at the entrance because her father was going to pick her up, so I could accompany her to the bathroom, then time passed and I saw her going out with a guy that didn't look familiar smiling and laughing and looking somewhat flirtatious while talking to her, then my mood changed, I felt jealous and insecure (I must admit that I was very rude) I approached her without knowing how I should act because she was not meeting and being friendly with guys in general, and even less if they were strangers so I went to meet them and I went ahead of them in an abrupt way, with a face of a bitter feeling I went out and went ahead to meet her father, she had dropped something but I only saw it out of the corner of my eye while I was picking it up and I don't know for sure what happened with the guy I was with, then I got to her father and I said goodbye with a low voice while I went on my way (I know, very rude). By the time I got home I grabbed my cell phone and started blocking and unblocking her and the networks and unfollowing her and things I'm not proud to say, then I calmed down and thought better of it and it didn't make sense what I was doing.
She sent me a message apologizing for how she left and asking me if it was ok because the previous attitude is not normal for me (I am usually too affectionate and attentive to her so she thought it was weird) then I explained to her why I was that way, she told me it was a partner from an ex-job that just told her what happened with that place, I felt partly relieved and embarrassed by my attitude, and all that night I behaved in a bad way with her so to speak, then she sent me messages saying your way of acting and the way you treat me when you get like that, I do not like and it makes me uncomfortable, to think that if I have more friends when you see me you will behave that way and that is very selfish of you.
In the night tonight I dreamt 2 times of her being with the two guys I mentioned to you and it put me in a weird mood, the first one being of her dating the first guy, being affectionate and such, the second one with her ex co-worker kissing and being boyfriend and girlfriend while I watched. Today in the morning I told her about the dreams and she said it's your problem to think I'll be with other guys and it got me thinking.
It's worth saying that I'm a little insecure physically, because of my height and how skinny I am, I've always struggled with jealousy for years, I try to handle it and not let it affect me too much but it always comes out in one way or another.
I don't want to keep feeling like this, pretending like I feel good in front of her, because it affects me, my relationship, my mood and therefore everything else.
How can I stop feeling this way? What do you think about my situation?

2024.05.11 21:03 FlugPoP Verizon LTE Band 5 turned back on in Southern California

Verizon LTE Band 5 turned back on in Southern California
I noticed on Wednesday that LTE band 5 was active again on sites near my home and other sites along the 210 freeway .
Previously most of the sites within 20 miles of me B5 was disabled on all the sies near my house since the last quarter of 2023 .
I have a custom notification for B5 setup on Signal Check Pro. That's how I knew it was back on again. I wonder why Verizon turned it back on again?

The system will be shared with the passport service and other departments.

EU Ambassador and Armenia's Deputy FM met on Friday as part of monthlong "Europe Day" events

The AM-EU cooperation continues. The implementation of €350 million in programs is underway. It will help the economy, connectivity, and reforms.

REPORTER: About a month ago the U.S. Ambassador gave an interview to Azatutyun saying the U.S. does not advise Armenia to end the relations with any country [context was Russia], and that the more partners Armenia has, the more powerful Armenia will be. Do you share this view? What is your formula for increasing Armenia's resilience?
AMB. MARAGOS: I won't comment on the statements of the U.S. Ambassador. There are various goals, various approaches for raising resilience. Our formula is to strengthen institutions and democracy, and Armenia's ability to make independent decisions. In this context, establishing peace in the region is important. //

Day 2 of former regime-led protests & road closures

Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan urged his followers to group up and "paralyze" the whole country to force Pashinyan's removal. Together with ARF MPs and its "youth wing" activists, he visited several universities and urged students to join. Some did, others did not. After a claim that the Yerevan State University was "empty", Armenpress sent a crew of reporters and found the claim to be false. Videos were uploaded showing professors urging the activists to stop disrupting the classes. Polytechnik spokeswoman said the students did not join the protests and that the protesters did not attempt to enter the campus.
ARF MPs entered the Bryusov University to gather students.
RECTOR: Why are you here? Go do your duties.
ARF MP Gegham Manukyan: This is my duty.
VICE RECTOR: Yesterday you called for anyone who wishes to join you to come, and not to attend classes. Those who wanted to join you, have joined your strikes. Now leave this building and do not disrupt the exams. You have no right to interrupt the state exams of those who didn't wish to join you.
ARF MP: You can't lock the doors.
RECTOR: The doors are currently open. You can leave now. //
The activists traveled to the Conservatory where a group of students joined them. No general student strike was announced, said Azatutyun.
ARCHBISHOP: I don't want to be the prime minister but if that's the wish of the people, the wish of God, and if I have the blessing of Catholicos Garegin B, then who am I to refuse it? //
Galstanyan also said he is a dual citizen of Canada so he would not be allowed to be a PM under this constitution. He said the constitution could be changed to allow dual citizens to become PMs.
A group of protesters shut down the Meghri-Yerevan road in Vayots Dzor. A participant was arrested after allegedly punching a police officer in the head after being told to open the road.
12 participants were arrested in various locations. Two of them, with lengthy rap sheets, allegedly possessed knives. The others were arrested for not following police orders.
There were reportedly fewer people in Republic Square today. As of 7:20 pm, the same organization that counted 31,700 yesterday spotted only 11,300 today. That's for "trend". The peak number is expected to be higher.
The Archbishop urged young protesters: "Stretch your muscles well, young people, we will soon take action. Don't worry." There was apparently a dispute between the organizers and the bored students that he gathered from universities. He promised them with more action soon.
ARCHBISHOP (later): You want action? Now let me put YOU to work instead. Since some of you complain that the protest is "dying down", I have a task to keep you busy: (1) Close the streets, (2) hold peaceful talks with members of the ruling QP party to impeach Pashinyan. Will you do this or not? This is very important. We need to meet and convince the MPs. //
ARF MP GARNIK: Don't get tired, people! None of us have the right to abandon these trenches. This is our last chance. We are not deserters. We will go until the end! Lav exeq. //
The ARF MP boasted about shutting down the Armenia-Georgia interstate road on Friday and thanked the activists for that.
Pashinyan's deputy chief of staff Taron Chakoyan mocked the organizers, urging them to nominate "the candidate of all times - Vazgen Manukyan" to "keep his political memory alive".
There will be no rally tomorrow. The organizers intend to redraw their plans. They want to involve "expert groups" [is that Ishkhan Saghatelyan's list of 70 or so experts he couldn't use in 2022?] and also come up with concrete plans on border delimitation. The next meeting is at 6 o'clock Sunday.
In other news. The California-based Western Diocese Armenian Church will pray for the Armenian government to stay strong and for Armenia to be resilient. Context: President Khachaturyan visited the church during his US trip. They prayed together. "Consider this your home." In turn, the President reassured that the Armenian government has no problem with the Armenian Apostolic Church as an institution. He said the Armenian government has chosen a peace agenda "because we have to be able to live next to our neighbors regardless of historical problems". Video.

2024.05.10 15:31 Dear-Owl7333 How to Stream Sky Sports Live Online From Anywhere

Are you a die-hard fan of Premier League football, Formula 1 racing, or international cricket? If so, you probably already know that Sky Sports is the ultimate destination for live sports coverage in the UK and Ireland. But what if you're traveling abroad or living in a country where Sky Sports isn't available? Don't worry – with a reliable VPN, you can easily stream Sky Sports live online from anywhere in the world! In this comprehensive guide, we'll show you how to choose the best VPN for Sky Sports and provide step-by-step instructions for watching on any device. Let's kick off!

Why Do You Need a VPN to Watch Sky Sports Live Online?

Sky Sports is a popular sports streaming service that's only available to viewers in the UK and Ireland. If you try to access Sky Sports from outside these countries, you'll encounter an error message saying that the content is not available in your location. This is because Sky Sports uses geo-blocking technology to restrict access based on your IP address. To bypass these geo-restrictions and watch Sky Sports live online from anywhere, you need a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A VPN masks your real IP address and replaces it with one from a server in the UK or Ireland, making it appear as if you're accessing Sky Sports from within those countries. With a VPN, you can easily unblock Sky Sports and enjoy live sports streaming no matter where you are in the world.

Top 5 VPNs for Streaming Sky Sports Live Online

Not all VPNs are created equal when it comes to unblocking Sky Sports. To ensure a smooth and high-quality streaming experience, you need a VPN that offers fast speeds, reliable connections, and a large network of servers in the UK and Ireland. Here are our top 5 recommended VPNs for watching Sky Sports live online:
  1. ExpressVPN – Our top pick for streaming Sky Sports, with lightning-fast speeds and a vast network of servers in the UK and Ireland.
  2. NordVPN – A close second, offering excellent unblocking capabilities and user-friendly apps for all devices.
  3. CyberGhost – A budget-friendly option with dedicated streaming servers optimized for Sky Sports.
  4. Surfshark – A reliable choice for streaming Sky Sports on unlimited devices simultaneously.
  5. Private Internet Access (PIA) – A solid VPN with a massive network of servers in the UK and Ireland.

How to Watch Sky Sports Live Online With a VPN (Step-by-Step Guide)

Follow these simple steps to stream Sky Sports live online from anywhere using a VPN:
  1. Choose a reliable VPN service that works with Sky Sports. We recommend ExpressVPN for its fast speeds and excellent unblocking capabilities.
  2. Download and install the VPN app on your device. Most VPNs offer apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and more.
  3. Launch the VPN app and log in with your account credentials.
  4. Connect to a server in the UK or Ireland. This will give you a UK or Irish IP address, allowing you to access Sky Sports as if you were in those countries.
  5. Go to the Sky Sports website or app and log in with your Sky TV or NOW TV subscription details.
  6. Start streaming your favorite sports live online! Enjoy the action from anywhere in the world.

Can You Use a Free VPN to Watch Sky Sports Live Online?

While there are many free VPNs available, we strongly advise against using them to stream Sky Sports live online. Free VPNs often have slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and a small number of servers, making them unreliable for streaming high-quality video content. Moreover, free VPNs may collect and sell your personal data to third parties, compromising your online privacy and security. To ensure a seamless and secure streaming experience, we recommend using a premium VPN service like ExpressVPN or NordVPN. These VPNs offer fast speeds, unlimited bandwidth, and robust security features to keep your online activities private and safe. While they come at a cost, the investment is well worth it for uninterrupted access to Sky Sports live online.

How to Watch Sky Sports on Different Devices With a VPN

Whether you prefer to watch Sky Sports on your laptop, smartphone, smart TV, or gaming console, a VPN can help you unblock the service on any device. Here's how to set up a VPN on some of the most popular devices:

Windows and Mac

  1. Download and install the VPN app for Windows or Mac from your chosen provider's website.

  4. Launch the Sky Sports app or visit the website to start streaming live sports on your mobile device.

Smart TVs and Streaming Devices

  1. Install the VPN app on your smart TV or streaming device if available. Some VPNs offer dedicated apps for Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, and Apple TV.
  2. If your VPN doesn't have a compatible app, set up the VPN on your Wi-Fi router instead. This will automatically protect all devices connected to your home network, including your smart TV or streaming device.
  3. Connect to a UK or Irish server.
  4. Open the Sky Sports app on your smart TV or streaming device and enjoy live sports streaming.

Gaming Consoles (Xbox and PlayStation)

  3. Open the Sky Sports app on your Xbox or PlayStation and start streaming live sports.
