Frequently asked questions

Everything Brits abroad ask before their first flight out.

What is OwlGate VPN?

OwlGate is a UK VPN built for Brits abroad. It gives you a residential UK IP address from 75+ tree houses worldwide, so British streaming, banking and work portals behave exactly as they do at home.

Can I watch BBC iPlayer and ITVX abroad with OwlGate?

Yes. Connect to a UK tree house such as London, Manchester or Edinburgh before opening the app, and clear the app cache the first time. Because the IPs are residential rather than datacentre ranges, broadcasters see an ordinary UK household. A TV Licence is still required for BBC programmes.

Will UK banking and HMRC still work while I am overseas?

That is the main reason people use OwlGate. A UK residential IP stops Monzo, Barclays, Lloyds, HMRC and employer portals from flagging your session as foreign, so logins and verification steps go through normally.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. OwlGate Free is ad-supported with no card required and a rotating set of tree houses. Pro at £9.99 a month (or £99.99 a year) removes ads and unlocks all 75+ locations plus dedicated UK residential IPs.

Does OwlGate keep logs?

No. No traffic, DNS queries, session timestamps or IP assignments are stored, so there is nothing to hand over and nothing that can be traced back to you.

Which devices does OwlGate run on?

Android and Android TV, iPhone and iPad, Windows, macOS, Linux and Fire TV Stick. You can also import a WireGuard configuration into your router so every device in the house shares one tunnel.

Will a VPN slow my connection down?

WireGuard adds very little overhead — most users lose under 10% of their line speed, which comfortably clears HD and 4K streaming. Run the built-in speed test before and after connecting to compare.
