We think we speak for everyone when we say that The Great British Bake Off is exactly what this country needs right now. It's mouthwatering, hilarious, and extremely comforting. It's like a big warm hug every week.

If you're in the UK, you can watch every episode of Season 13 at 8 p.m. BST every Tuesday on Channel 4. That's super straightforward, but what about if you're travelling outside the country over the coming weeks and months. In this case, you'll need to use a VPN to watch the episodes when they drop.

Channel 4 is not available to watch online if you're not based in the UK. The site checks out your IP address and blocks you from accessing The Great British Bake Off. Fortunately, you can get around this blockade by signing up to a streaming-friendly VPN and connecting to a secure server in the UK. This quick process tricks Channel 4 into thinking you are back home, meaning you don't need to miss a minute of the action.

There are plenty of VPNs that can reliably unblock Channel 4 from abroad, but ExpressVPN might be the best. Users get strong connection speeds, live customer support, and powerful encryption. You can also connect five devices simultaneously with the same account, which is great news for those who like to stream on a lot of devices. ExpressVPN is not the cheapest service, but that makes sense when you consider the set of features you get as a subscribers.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £88.68, saving you 49% on list price. This plan includes an extra three months and a year of unlimited cloud backup for free. Subscribers also get a generous 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can recoup your investment if things don't work out.
