Thank God for Proxy Servers
Apparently, despite the fact that I spend a high monthly fee to HBO to be able to stream all their content, I cannot get the content I paid for when in France. I have an account with Express VPN and it has always served me well. I was able to log in via this VPN and was able to stream the most recent Game of Thrones episode. I could have probably waited until I got home but the Internet seems to be filled with like 6 million spoilers.
BTW, unlike much of the most vocal Internet, I was totally fine with how the major character deaths were handled in the last episode. I thought they were symbolically consistent with how those characters got to where they are.
At home I almost always surf through a proxy server, even though that means I have to endure endless identity confirmation tests from websites as they don't recognize my IP.
