You've come to the right place if you're looking for ways to unblock HBO Max from outside the U.S.

How can you access your HBO Max subscription from abroad?

To bypass HBO Max's geo-restrictions and log in to your subscription from anywhere in the world, you simply need to follow these steps:

1. Sign up to a streaming-friendly VPN

2. Download the app to your device of choice (top VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

3. Open up the app and connect to a server in a country that supports HBO Max

If you don’t already have an account with HBO Max, you'll need to create a new account using an American credit card or a gift card. This process is obviously more complicated:

2. Create an Apple ID/Google Play account

3. Register your account on the app store

4. Download and install the HBO Max app

5. Create a new account in the HBO Max app with your email address and password

6. Pay with your PayPal account

We did say this process wasn't exactly easy, but HBO Max is worth the effort.
