5. What to do if The Walking Dead is unavailable in your region?

If The Walking Dead Universe is unavailable on any streaming website in your area, you can use a VPN to bypass the geo-block. Some of the top VPN service providers in the game are ExpressVPN, Nord VPN, Proton VPN, Cyberghost, and Private Internet Access, to name a few.

All you have to do is connect to a country where the Walking Dead Universe is streaming. You can now watch the series even if unavailable in your region.

There are many unpaid VPN services at hand or free browser extensions. However, low-tier VPN providers might decrease your speed and block you from streaming services. Connection drops and unsecured encryption are also other disadvantages.

6. About The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead is a neo-Western horror drama that focuses on sheriff’s deputy Rick Grimes who is shot at the beginning of the series. He wakes up from a coma and discovers that the world has been taken over by zombies, called the ‘walkers’. He joins a group of survivors who are willing to do anything to live.

The Walking Dead is based on the Image Comics comic book series of the same name, written by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard.
