How to watch 'Golden Axe' from anywhere
If you’re traveling and find that your usual streaming apps stop working outside your home region, a VPN (virtual private network) can help. It lets your device connect via a secure server back home, so you can use your existing subscriptions as normal.
Tom’s Guide has tested a wide range of services, and NordVPN is the one we most often recommend for streaming thanks to its fast speeds and broad device support. You can also try it risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is straightforward; follow these steps.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As noted, NordVPN is our preferred option.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. on vacation and want to view your regular American service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and binge. Head to Paramount+ and stream new episodes of "Golden Axe" online.
