How to Watch Crackle outside of US

Unfortunately, crackle.com is available in only 21 countries on the globe. So, there’s a high chance that it might be unavailable in your country. But, by following the procedure given below, you can also enjoy the content streaming services from crackle.com in your region.

Method 1: Using Smart DNS service

There are a lot of DNS service providers available on the internet. A smart DNS service will help you mask your region and route your data traffic via some other region where crackle service is available. Hence, you can easily use crackle.com without any problem.

Method 2: Using a VPN

The most popular unblocking technique used over the internet is a VPN (Virtual Private Network). A VPN works in a similar fashion as a smart DNS but it does cost a little bandwidth. i.e, you will not be able to use your bandwidth to its full potential unless you own a premium subscription.

But, for online content streaming, any free VPN service works just fine. There are a lot of VPN options available just a few clicks away such as NordVPN, Psiphon, Proton, etc. which you can download from the official website.

To use crackle via a VPN, simply download and install the VPN in your system. Then, turn the VPN on and visit the crackle.com homepage. If you have selected the correct region (e.g, US), the website will be unlocked for you and you can enjoy its services.
