[kvCORE] Access From Outside the USA & Canada
[kvCORE] Access From Outside the USA & Canada
Updated over 7 months ago

Connections to kvCORE from outside of the USA & Canada are currently not available. This is due to a variety of reasons including spam, system performance, and maintenance.

The most reliable way to consistently access kvCORE while outside of the USA/Canada is to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network). There are free VPN services but they're generally slow, unreliable, and/or require technical knowledge to install. It's best to sign up for a subscription if you need an easy, consistent, and quick way to access kvCORE.

Most paid VPN plans are month-to-month but you can generally get a decent discount if you sign up for an entire year; it depends on your travel plans. Most major VPN providers now support VPN access from smartphones and tablets as well. Documentation on how to install the programs/apps can be found on the VPN's website you choose to sign up with.

In general, there are 4 steps to set up the VPN but it can vary depending on your provider:

  1. Set up a new account with your preferred VPN and choose your subscription

  2. Download and install the VPN software they provide and then log in

  3. Choose a server based in the USA or Canada

  4. Select 'Connect'

After connecting, any webpage that you go to will think your computer is in the USA/Canada instead of the country you're actually in. This may help with connecting to a number of other services you use as well depending on your current location.

Below are a few VPN's that we recommend for ease of use:
