Couple of quick questions:
1. When you sign up to Gamepass (or whatever it's called this year), do they check the address of your credit card/payment method? Do you have to give a foreign address at all?

2. What VPN service do you use?

3. What country are you claiming?

Thanks

Never used gamepass

Don't use a VPN

Live in US

Have watched every bears game online free for at least 7+ years

Try searching the internets; you'll find free streams

I don't use international Gamepass because I've always been worried that something I paid for could get shut down at any moment the NFL decides to crack down on US customers using this loophole. That hasn't happened though to my knowledge, yet.

I can point you to a great / private stream when the season starts if you'd like.

I use Private Internet Access.

No info on gamepass type sites but happy with ExpressVPN for torrents etc. Use an outside USA location for that.

It's very good. And usually there are three total so there are backups if one is having a problem. Servers on east coast, midwest and west coast.

1. I use international Gamepass and use my US based credit card. No problem with it at all, they don't care that it's a US address.

2. I use NordVPN. Look for discount codes, they always have 60% discounts going on. Really easy to use, simple interface.

3. I've been using UK for the VPN.

Thus why you should use a VPN
Never had a problem with any links/streams I've used thru my laptop

But haven't used in 2+ years as I now have all direct tv channels on my TV thru a video streaming subscription service

To everyone asking for links in the thread, I won't have these until we get close to the regular season. Please PM me maybe a few days before and I'll give you details.

I'm using international gamepass and was lucky once, when I stood in Brazil due my auto renew.
Suddenly only 30 Eur instead of 190 eur were booked ?

Didn't need vpn after that in Germany. Could used it normal.
