I've use Opera on my phone, a tablet and a laptop while travelling to watch games and it's worked a treat. Easy to set up too.
Perfect mate, thanks!!

I am always scared to start a thread on this because I know it's covered a lot.
I am travelling with work for St Mirren at home so am having to miss it unfortunately. I could use an IPTV login but I think I'd rather pay for WiFi at my hotel, get RTV and a VPN and watch it so the money goes to Rangers.
How much am I looking at paying for a VPN and RangersTV for the one game?
EDIT: Just seen posts about Opera or Puffin, so just RTV I need.
In the era of technology, free VPN it was a myth like you pay them with your data or credentials and they breach your data to others so i suggest if are you choosing a VPN go with surfshark free 7 days trial
I’ve just downloaded the Opera app as I’ve had a lot of buffering lately with my free VPN through chromecast app.Just found out the Opera app browser also has a built in vpn.
Is it easy to set a vpn up on a smart tv ?

do you need too switch the VPN on using this?
Some info here. You can leave the VPN on all the time but its probably only necessary when viewing RangersTV streams. I'd suggest setting your location as near to the UK as possible - eg France, Belgium, The Netherlands etc. It wont be as fast or as good as a paid for VPN but is 'useable' in most cases. Just don't come on here bleating when it buffers!
Choose where you want to appear on the web with a free VPN in Opera 40
Looking for a free VPN service? Opera is the first major browser to integrate an unlimited VPN service. Find out more.blogs.opera.com
After downloading the browser, enabling VPN is easy. Go to “Settings” (or “Preferences” on Mac), choose “Privacy & Security” and then toggle the free VPN. An icon labeled “VPN” will appear in the browser, from which you can toggle VPN on and off, and choose a location.

cheers for that mate but it’s the phone app that I’m using and those instructions dont apply as far as I can see when I go into settings
out of interest what do you use??
On Android of iPhone? Here's the info for Android:
How to Set Up Opera’s Mobile VPN for Secure Browsing on Android
Updated 3/20/19: Opera’s free VPN for Android users (baked into the Opera app) is now out of beta and will start rolling out to all users today, vialifehacker.com
I use a paid for VPN called Private Internet Access (PIA). Though the best reviewed are NordVPN and ExpressVPN. If you're going to be watching on a phone though - madness IMHO - I wouldn't be paying too much for any VPN.
cheers again. I can cast from my phone onto the tv which works a treat
WARNING:
Free VPNs are a bad idea. Using a free VPN is just using someone in another countries internet. By doing that, someone is using YOUR internet. They could be using it for any number of things.
Pay for VPNs.

Take a look at Hola VPN, for instance. Its website claims that it is used by 200 million people as of today. Most of them use it because it is free.
The irony is, most of those users have not read the terms and conditions before installing Hola VPN. If they did, they would have learned about Hola’s business model. In lieu of payment, users contribute their “idle resources” of their computers to create a “community powered” peer-to-peer (P2P) network. So their PCs become “exit nodes” for other users.
Isn’t that scary?

Hola was (is?) using your pc to run someone elses free-vpn. So when you used Hola to watch the Rangers game, someone else using Hola in eg Germany was using their bandwidth to stream the game from RTV to their PC then send it to your PC.
Windscribe give you 10gb for free hoping you will buy their pro version

Yeah it's mad mate. So many don't realise this!

Open the browser and the red O bottom right, its 3rd downjust downloaded this app, how do I turn on the vpn??
Unsure but if you select the red O in the app. the vpn is the 3rd option down.I’ve just downloaded the Opera app as I’ve had a lot of buffering lately with my free VPN through chromecast app.
Is private mode the same as using a VPN?
Great cheers.Unsure but if you select the red O in the app. the vpn is the 3rd option down.
Can you use Puffin with a VPN on a Windows laptop?
EDIT: Ignore me, I think Opera will work for this. Just for the one game on Wednesday anyway.
If I’m not at a game I’ll just cast it from RTV through Apple TV from my phone, or I’ve got an HDMI cable which I run from my MacBook to my TV.Also out of interest. How do you guys stream to a tv. I normally just watch games on the computer but it would be good to use the tv. I’ve got a smart tv and a PS4.
You can get a firestick for 25 quid that's what I use.Is it easy to set a vpn up on a smart tv ?
If it works the same as a fire stick, just a case of downloading the app.....I use nord vpn which I pay for, but download the app, switch on the vpn and away you goI’ve just downloaded the Opera app as I’ve had a lot of buffering lately with my free VPN through chromecast app.

Second vote for operaOpera browser has a free built in vpn. Turn it on in the settings, took me a while to find it. Works fine with RTV.
A third vote here, need to keep the VPN on though. You could turn it off previously so they must detect location changes midstreamSecond vote for opera
Just tried rtv on phone and firestick with cyberghost but I'm still not seeing how to play the live match. I've tried logging in without vpn then logging out logging in with vpn on but still nothing I'm hoping after 7.30 theres play live match option
I've got it now on firestick i was looking for a play button on the live match image like the old site but its lower down nowAssuming you subscribe to the Unlimited package:
Turn on your VPN. Login to RangersTV and go to the Live tab. The match video and audio will be there with red buttons underneath, click to play.
If you simply want to purchase the individual match:
Turin your VPN on. Click on the Subscribe to RangersTV tab and you should see the option to purchase the match. Buy it. Then do as above.
