1. Pick a VPN Tool
There are a wealth of VPN tools out there but we recommend the likes of Express VPN, VPN Hub, Panda, Cyber Ghost, Nord VPN, Pure VPN, Vypr VPN and unlocator.com.
All of them will cost a little bit of dollar although some of the tools offer free 30-day trials.
There are also multiple packages depending on whether you want to hide ads or block privacy filters, etc.
2. Download and Install
Simply sign up to your chosen VPN tool – usually via one, three, six or 12-month deals – and download the tool.
3. Follow the Instructions
Each VPN tool comes with different guidelines.
However, they’re all relatively easy to follow but may vary depending on whether you have a MacBook or Windows software.
The key is remembering to select ‘U.K’ when prompted to select where you would like your new VPN to be registered – this is rerouting your VPN from the U.S.A to the U.K.
3. Access the BBC iPlayer
With the VPN correctly setup you should now be able to access the BBC iPlayer.
A VPN will let you stream Luther season 5 from anywhere in America!
