How to Watch the Rugby World Cup Online – Essential Software

VPN for streaming world cup 2015

  • Use a VPN – Streaming is a legal grey area in some countries. Many of the links above are restricted based on geography (meaning you can only watch ITV within the UK, for example). I recommend Cyberghost VPN to protect your privacy and get around geo-restrictions. It’s a premium service that is well worth paying for.

adblocker

  • Adblocker – I recommend uBlock Origin. Many streaming sites are plastered with annoying ads. Block them with this software. Free.
  • Livestreamer software. Instead of watching in your browser, you can instead stream to VLC or other media players of your choice. This is for more advanced users, involves using a command line. Free and open source.
  • Acestream. Best quality, HD streams with minimal lag. Here is my guide to setting up Acestream for rugby gamesFree.

 

Use Acestream Securely
Acestream involves using peer-to-peer (P2P) services. Sometimes these are in a legal grey area depending on your geographic location.

I use NordVPN (disclosure: affiliate link, please consider using this link if you find this guide useful, thank you!)

More information regarding how they keep your data private from their FAQ.

Using a VPN also allows you to stream from sites that are restricted to certain countries (geo-unblock).
