With over 10 years of experience he has become the go-to guru for streaming content from home and abroad.
In this guide I’ll show you the simple and quick way you can watch StarHub Go outside Singapore in any country in the world.
StarHub Go is without question one of the best online streaming services in Singapore. If you travel outside Singapore you’ll likely find your access blocked.
Like almost every streaming service from HBO Go in the United States, to the BBC iPlayer in the UK, StarHub Go is blocked when you go out of the country.
If you’re like me this can leave you a little disappointed. After all you pay for your subscription so why can’t you watch it anywhere?
The good news is you can by using a little trick. For this, you’ll need a VPN app but I’ll explain more about that below.
What you need to watch StarHub Go outside Singapore
When you try and use StarHub Go either via their app or the website it checks your internet connection. Your internet connection tells StarHub Go where you are which is how they’re able to block you easily.
So if you travel to Malaysia, Australia, America or anywhere else, expect StarHub Go to block you with no messing around.
If you haven’t heard of a ‘VPN‘ app before then it’s going to be your new best friend. A VPN is a totally legal app that allows you to disguise your location so you can appear somewhere else.
This, as you’ve probably already guessed, will allow you to watch StarHub Go outside Singapore in any country.
Where can I get a VPN
VPN apps are sold as subscription services so will cost you a couple of dollars per month.
There are too many VPN companies out there now and wading through the bad ones to get to a good one is not only time consuming but expensive.
I’ve tested loads of different VPN apps and my recommendation for watching StarHub Go is ExpressVPN.
They’re one of the easiest to use, have a massive 30-day risk-free money back guarantee AND if you sign up for their 12-month package they’ll give you 3 months completely free making it 49% cheaper than paying monthly.
However, being the savvy shopper you are you’ll probably want to have a look around at a couple of other good choices.
So here are my Top 3 VPN services for watching StarHub Go outside Singapore.
- ExpressVPN – My recommended choice
- CyberGhost VPN
- IPVanish
Once you’ve decided on one of the above follow the steps below to watch StarHub Go outside Singapore.

Below I’ve put the steps you’ll need to take. In this example I’m using my recommended provider ExpressVPN to watch StarHub Go but any of the three from above will work almost the same.
How to watch StarHub Go outside Singapore:
- Visit ExpressVPN by clicking here and sign up for their service.
- Then download their app either from the ‘Products’ section of their website or search your usual app store.
- Open the app and login when required.
- Then press ‘Choose Location‘ (1).
- Next press ‘All‘ (2), ‘Asia Pacific‘ (3) and finally ‘Singapore‘ (4).
Watch StarHub Go with ExpressVPN.
Once the app has connected any websites you visit or apps you use will think you’re in Singapore rather than whatever country you’re really in.
All you need to do now is open the StarHub Go app or visit the StarHub Go website and access it as you would normally when you’re at home in Singapore.
You’ll be pleased to know that instead of being blocked you can watch StarHub Go as if you were at home in Singapore without restrictions.
This means you can watch StarHub Go in Malaysia, Japan, America, Australia, the UK or anywhere else in the world.
30-day money back guarantee
Can’t I just get a free VPN?
As well as there being hundreds of different providers of VPN services there are also paid and free ones.
My personal recommendation is to sign up to ExpressVPN which costs just a couple of dollars per month. It’s even cheaper if you sign up for a year.
There are however ‘free’ VPN services out there but these are definitely best avoided.
As you’ll know you get nothing for free in life and even though these services claim to be ‘free’ they are anything but.
‘Free’ VPN services are usually so slow it’s impossible to stream video which will lead to buffering and other poor playback issues.
It’s not just the quality of the video that’s a problem but also the fact they’ll put both your device and privacy at risk.
‘Free’ VPN services need to make money somehow to fund their service and this is often by selling details on your usage or injecting your connection with adverts or other junk.

StarHub Go fans will be pleased to know that it’s entirely possible to watch outside Singapore.
