Get the Fastest VPN for RTÉ2 Streaming
Connect to streaming-optimized servers in Ireland and securely watch RTÉ online
How to Watch RTÉ Player with a VPN in 3 Steps:
Stream your favorite shows securely with no buffering with CyberGhost VPN
Can I Use a VPN to Unblock RTÉ Player Outside Ireland?
Some VPN users connect to a server in Ireland to access RTÉ Player from outside the country, but this is against our terms of service and is not acceptable.
CyberGhost is a privacy-forward No Logs VPN, meaning we can't view your online activity and we never share your browsing data. While we don't know what you're doing online, you should always comply with RTÉ's terms of use, our terms of service, and any applicable law, including copyright.
Access RTÉ2 Securely During Your Travels
If there are two things Irish people love, it’s watching sports in pubs and traveling the world.
While you’ll always find a pub to enjoy a cold one, going abroad often means giving up access to your favorite shows and Irish sporting events.
Luckily, a little CyberGhost magic is all you need to watch RTÉ2 live streams. Our Ireland-based VPN servers stand at the ready to grant you free passage to your beloved programs from back home.
One click or screen tap is all it takes to access RTÉ Player anonymously even when vacationing outside the country.
Connect to Servers in Ireland and Worldwide
Servers are the bread and butter of any VPN provider, and CyberGhost VPN has them in droves.
Sign up to get unlimited access to our huge network, which includes servers in 100 countries. This includes plenty of high-speed servers in Dublin.
We’ve even got streaming-optimized servers just for RTÉ, so you can say goodbye to error codes, buffering wheels, and pixelated screens. Time to enjoy your favorite programs anonymously in UHD.
If you’re a big streaming fan, you’ll love the rest of our streaming-optimized servers too. We’ve got them set up for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, Sky Go, Channel 4, and virtually every streaming platform.

Protect Your Privacy
The sites you visit, the RTÉ shows you watch, and what you type into Google’s search bar is no one else’s business.
CyberGhost’s strict No Logs policy protects your digital anonymity and privacy. We don’t collect, store, or share any of your sensitive information — and we never will.
We’re based in Romania, so we have the government’s full support to back up our policy. Not many VPNs can claim that!
Speak with our Customer Support team to get a comprehensive list of every measure we take to protect your privacy. We’re all about transparency. Our team is available 24/7 and can answer your questions in English, French, German, and Romanian.
Think twice before connecting to public Wi-Fi. Hotels, bars, and restaurants usually have unsecured hotspots. No wonder cybercriminals prowl these networks — anyone using them is a potential victim.
CyberGhost VPN encrypts every piece of your data using 256-bit AES encryption. This is the highest standard available and prevents malicious hackers from intercepting your traffic.
Turn on automatic Wi-Fi protection as an extra security layer. Your VPN connection will instantly kick in every time you connect to an untrusted network.
Take Advantage of Military-Grade Encryption
Bypass ISP Bandwidth Throttling
After a nice day of sightseeing, being able to catch up with your favorite show is the icing on the cake. Unless you have to deal with screen freezes, buffering wheels, and pixelated images.
Bandwidth throttling may be the culprit. Your ISP may intentionally slow your internet speed if it thinks you’re eating up too much network traffic.
CyberGhost VPN comes to the rescue yet again! Everything you do behind our encrypted connection stays private, so your ISP won’t have a clue what websites you’re visiting. That means it can’t penalize you for binge-watching Line of Duty!
I’m Connected to an Irish Server, Why Can’t I Access RTÉ Player?
It’s no secret that streaming websites frown upon VPN users. As a result, many platforms deny access to anyone suspected of using a VPN.
How does a streaming platform know you’re using a VPN? It may notice unusual traffic coming from a certain IP address and assume it’s linked to a VPN server. This IP address is then blocklisted.
Luckily, CyberGhost’s streaming-optimized servers guarantee secure access to your favorite platforms at all times. We test and update them regularly, so you’ll never have to waste time searching for a working server.
FAQ
Most RTÉ content is only available in the Republic of Ireland. To access the entire content library securely, connect to our RTÉ streaming-optimized servers before logging in to your RTÉ account.
Some shows are free to stream worldwide (like live streams).
To access an RTÉ livestream outside Ireland, go to the Live section on RTÉ Player. However, you can only access the full library in Ireland. This is due to international licensing restrictions.
RTÉ Player detects your location by checking your device's IP address. It needs to be an Irish IP address or you'll see this message: "This programme cannot be streamed due to the rights restrictions."
Watch RTÉ Player on your browser, desktop, smartphone, Smart TVs, tablets, and all other streaming devices. Better yet, CyberGhost VPN works with all big and small screens too.
We have dedicated VPN apps for a wide range of gadgets, including Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices. Our Smart DNS service even lets you set up CyberGhost VPN on Smart TVs.
In Ireland, it’s legal to download a VPN to give you extra privacy and security online. Just make sure you use it for legal activities only and you don’t break RTÉ2’s Terms & Conditions.
Plenty of reasons. A VPN helps you access RTÉ2 securely, turns ISP content-based throttling into a distant memory, and even lets you escape network restrictions at work or school.
CyberGhost VPN hides your IP address and assigns you another from our pool of Irish IPs. This lets you keep up with your favorite shows on RTÉ Player, even when traveling outside Ireland.
We’re proud to be the best VPN for streaming! CyberGhost VPN has streaming-optimized servers for all major platforms including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney +, HBO Max, and BBC iPlayer.
Test us out with your favorite streaming platform. It’s risk-free with our 45-day money-back guarantee!
It’s highly unlikely. Free VPNs only offer you access to a handful of servers, so you’ll be lucky to find a free VPN with servers in Ireland. RTÉ may also restrict your ability to watch content if it detects you’re using a free VPN.
Even worse, free VPN services regularly log your activity and make money by selling your data to anyone interested. You know what they say — unless you’re paying for the product, you are the product.
