Listen to Pandora Radio Outside US (UK Method)

One of the frustrating things about modern life is that Pandora no longer works in the UK. Recently, Pandora pulled the plug on all abroad traffic, making the service only available from US workstations.

Here is a brief explanation of a workaround that now makes it possible to listen to Pandora wherever you are in the world.

Basically, the Pandora service uses a bit of technology called an IP Address to be able sort whether or not you are outside the US.
To get around this problem, a new service called VPN has been gaining popularity.
A VPN, Virtual Private Network, allows connections from anywhere in the world to be routed through to a US location, giving any user the US address needed for Pandora to work.

VPN is a paid service for ca. £5 per month.

Here is a link to one service that I’ve signed up for and will recommend as it’s done a good job to date.

VPN is a great service that I’m using quite a bit now to stream Pandora and also to watch a couple of American programmes I’m fond of through the streaming services of Hulu.com, which are currently free and available only in the USA, also.

It also works on my Iphone so now I can finally use that Pandora app.
