If you are one of the 8 million Indonesians living outside your home nation, or if you are travelling or working abroad, it’s natural to want to keep up with your favorite sports, shows, and news back home. Unfortunately, that’s not an option because of Trans7’s policy to geo-block its content. That means if you are trying to access its streaming capabilities from outside Indonesia, you’ll get a message reading “403 Forbidden Page. Sorry, you are not authorized to view the requested page.” In plain language, this means that the Trans7 security protocol has recognized that your IP address is not originated in Indonesia and blocked you from accessing its streaming content. However, this setback does not limit you from watching Trans7 while out of the country. By enabling a virtual private network on your favorite Internet-capable device, you can stream your favorite shows at anytime from anywhere in the world. This blog will explain how VPN technology works, how you can use it to access Trans7 content, and what the best VPNs are for the job.
How VPN technology works
The connection between the two devices is encrypted, so that any material passing either way, cannot be seen. When you’ve established a connection between your device and a remote server in Indonesia, you can begin sending requests to view Trans7’s website and access its streaming services. These requests will be decrypted by the remote computer and assigned a new IP address from that jurisdiction; for this example, one from Indonesia. The remote computer will now send your data requests to the website attached to the IP address. This will initiate a handshake with Trans7’s security which will recognize the Indonesian IP address and begin fulfilling your requests. The material you stream will download to the remote server in data packets, which will be encrypted and sent via the VPN connection. On your end, the data will be decrypted. You can then view Trans7 anytime from any place, whether you’re in New Zealand, Nigeria, Nepal, or Namibia.
