How to watch Amazon Prime abroad?

Unfortunately, many popular subscription streaming sites, including Amazon Prime Video UK geo-blocks its service, which means you can’t stream the service from outside the UK unless you use a reputed VPN service. VPNs work by tricking your device into thinking you’re thousands of miles away from your actual location, thereby letting you browse in complete anonymity in just a few clicks.
