All you have to do is follow these simple steps:

How to create a 10Play account outside Australia

To create a 10Play account outside Australia you only need a few things.

You need a reliable VPN like ExpressVPN ($6.67/month), you need an Australian postcode and you need a valid email address.

Follow these steps to create a 10Play account outside Australia:

1. Download ExpressVPN ($6.67/month) and connect to an Australian server
2. Visit 10play.com.au
3. Select create new account
4. Input your email and password

How to download the 10Play app outside Australia

The easiest way to watch 10Play outside Australia is via the app on a phone or tablet. You can use either an Apple device or an Android device.

A phone or tablet is easiest because you can download the 10Play app and stream it to your television. That’s what I do.

To download the 10Play app outside Australia follow these steps:

Apple

1. Download ExpressVPN ($6.67/month) and connect to an Australian server
2. Create a new iCloud account for free
   • The reason we recommend creating a new iCloud account is so you can have two different accounts in two different locations. For example, I have my iCloud account I use every day set to my home country and I have my other iCloud account based in Australia. That way I can switch between them when I need to without having to change the location of my main account.
3. Login to your new iCloud account
   • Once you’ve created a seperate iCloud account you need to set its location to Australia. Go into settings, logout of your main account (if you’re still logged in) and log in to your new account.
4. Open your account
   • If you go into settings on your Apple device, your account name will be at the top of the screen. Click that to open your account settings.
5. Select Media and Purchases
6. Select View Account
   • Once you click View Account this will prompt you to enter your password. When this is done, you’ll be taken to a new page.
7. Tap Country/Region and select Australia
   • When you open Country/Region you’ll see “Change Country or Region.” Click on this and select Australia.
8. Select no payment method
   • When creating a new Apple account you’ll be prompted to input a payment method. However, if you don’t have an Australian credit card or payment method, your credit card won’t be accepted. Simply select no payment method to get around this.
9. Input an Australian address
   • If prompted to put in an Australian address, you can get one here
10. Go to the App Store and download 10Play
    • Once you’ve changed your region to Australia, make sure you’re still connected to an Australian server on ExpressVPN ($6.67/month). Now you’ll have access to the Australian version of the Apple App Store. From here you’ll be able to find the 10Play app. Download it.

Android

1. Create a new Google Play account and login to it on the Google Play store
2. Download and install ExpressVPN ($6.67/month) on your Android phone
3. Connect to an Australian server on ExpressVPN ($6.67/month)
4. Open up your Google Play Account
5. Click Settings
6. Click General
7. Click account and device preferences
8. Change your location to Australia
9. Put in your credit card details
10. Close Google Play and open it again (you should be on the Australian version of the Google Play Store)
11. Download and install 10Play

Why can’t I watch Survivor South Africa in the US?

The reason you can’t watch Survivor South Africa in the US is because there isn’t a US-based streaming service that currently owns the rights to the reality TV show.

In order for a streaming service to broadcast Survivor South Africa, it needs to own the rights to the content.

As of time of writing, there isn’t a US-based streaming service that has picked up the rights to Survivor South Africa, meaning at the moment, there’s nowhere to watch the show in the US.

How to watch Survivor South Africa in the US?

The easiest way to watch Survivor South Africa in the US is via a streaming service that is based in a different country.

The best option is the free Australian streaming service, 10Play.

10Play is the best option because it’s a free streaming service, it owns the rights to a number of Survivor South Africa seasons and it’s easy to make an account with 10Play.

The tricky part is if you try and access 10Play in the US, the streaming service won’t work. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to watch 10Play in the US so you can access all of its content. All you need is a reliable VPN like ExpressVPN ($6.67/month) or Private Internet Access ($2.03/month).

Why do I need a VPN to watch Survivor South Africa in the US?

As mentioned previously, the best way to watch Survivor South Africa in the US is via the Australian streaming service, 10Play. However if you try and access 10Play in the US, the streaming service won’t work.

The reason it won’t work is because 10Play is only available in Australia. It’s an Australian streaming service only available to Australian customers.

When you access 10Play it scans your IP address to determine your location. An IP address is a unique code allocated to your device so you can communicate with online services however your IP contains information about your location. If you’re in the US your IP address shows you’re in the US, if you’re in Canada your IP address shows you’re in Canada and so on.

When 10Play scans your IP address it’s looking for this location information. If it finds you aren’t in Australia, it blocks your connection.

Fortunately, a VPN allows you to get around this issue. Both ExpressVPN ($6.67/month) or Private Internet Access ($2.03/month) allow you to change your US-based IP address to an Australian IP address in seconds. This means when 10Play scans your IP address it will think you’re in Australia and you’ll be able to watch Survivor South Africa in the US.

Will any VPN work?

These days VPNs are very popular, with free VPNs being the most popular. They’re well-known ways of watching 10Play outside of Australia.

Because of their popularity 10Play tries to block VPNs from accessing its service it does this by monitoring for an abnormal amount of connections coming from the same IP address. 

Because free VPNs are very popular they aren’t able to provide individual IP addresses for all of their customers. When this happens customers are forced to share IP addresses.

When 10Play notices hundreds or thousands of connections coming from the same IP address, it knows it’s a VPN and it blocks that connection. 

If your chosen VPN doesn’t have measures to get around this you won’t be able to watch Survivor South Africa in the US and worse still you may spend money on a VPN that won’t work.

ExpressVPN ($6.67/month) or Private Internet Access ($2.03/month) have measures to get around this. When an IP address is blocked by 10Play these VPNs will close that IP and open a new unblocked one so there’s always one for you connect to. This simple measure will allow you to watch Survivor South Africa in the US reliably.
