If you’re a Sky Stream customer, you already enjoy the convenience of watching your favourite UK shows on the compact (and portable) Sky Stream ‘Puck’.
Unlike traditional Sky services, this device doesn’t require a satellite dish—instead, all channels and content are streamed over the internet.
But what happens when you’re travelling abroad? Can you still access your Sky content outside the UK?
Like many streaming platforms, Sky imposes geographical restrictions, meaning if you try to use your Sky Stream ‘Puck’ outside the UK, you’ll likely be met with an error message or a blocked connection.
This happens because Sky’s geo-blocking systems detect that your internet connection is coming from outside the UK, preventing access to UK-only content.
A UK Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows you to mask your location, making it appear as if you’re accessing the internet from the UK—even when you’re abroad. But not all VPNs work reliably with Sky.
The best solution for watching Sky Stream abroad is to use a pre-configured VPN router with a UK residential IP address. Here’s why:
Sky can detect and block regular VPNs, but a residential IP VPN looks like a genuine UK home broadband connection, avoiding detection.
Unlike free or standard VPNs, a residential VPN provides stable speeds and uninterrupted streaming with no buffering.
With a pre-configured VPN router, all your devices—including your Sky Stream ‘Puck’—are instantly connected to the UK VPN. No need to install or configure apps!
You can also connect additional devices like a Roku, Fire TV Stick, or Smart TV to enjoy all UK streaming services.
At Stream UK TV Abroad, we offer pre-configured VPN routers with a UK VPN specifically optimised for Sky Stream ‘Puck’. Our VPN uses residential IP addresses, ensuring your connection mimics a real UK broadband line—allowing you to access Sky abroad without hassle.

Don’t let geo-blocks stop you from enjoying your favourite Sky content abroad. With our pre-configured VPN routers and UK residential VPN service, you can keep watching Sky Stream, just as if you were in the UK.
