How to watch the Dodgers vs. Mets from anywhere
Baseball fans traveling away from home can still catch the game with the help of a VPN (virtual private network), which enables users to change their device's virtual location, meaning that they can access their usual websites and subscriptions from anywhere. It's also an instant way to boost online security. Since the services we've recommended require US payment methods, this option will work best for Americans who are traveling outside of the US.
ExpressVPN is a user-friendly option for the VPN uninitiated. It's our top pick, which we break down in our ExpressVPN review, and also comes with a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee.
