How to Watch RTÉ Player with a VPN in 3 Steps:
Get secure access to RTÉ Player wherever you are with CyberGhost VPN
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 privately, 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 high-speed servers in Dublin.
We’ve even got streaming-optimized servers just for RTÉ, so you can say goodbye to error codes and access the shows you like on your terms.
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, Channel 4, and loads of other popular streaming platforms.

If you prefer to watch on a big screen, we also have apps for Android TV and Amazon Fire TV Stick. For Apple TV and other devices that don't support VPN apps, you can set CyberGhost up on your router.

Leave Bandwidth Limitations Behind
Streaming consumes a lot of bandwidth, but why should you care? Other VPNs may limit your bandwidth, but not CyberGhost VPN.
Enjoy your RTÉ2 livestream on one device, game on another, and download files privately — at the same time. All without ever dealing with shaky connections or sudden speed drops.
Care to put it to the test? Take CyberGhost VPN for a spin with our no-questions-asked 45-day money-back guarantee.
If you think using a VPN means giving up your fast internet speeds, you need to try CyberGhost VPN.
All VPNs can cause your internet speed to drop, but CyberGhost’s high-tech infrastructure keeps any speed drops to a minimum.
Our servers use state-of-the-art hardware and industry-standard VPN protocols to give you the perfect mix of speed and security. We deploy 10-Gbps servers in our busiest locations to ensure you never have to deal with slowdowns caused by overcrowding.

Protect Your Privacy
The sites you visit, the RTÉ shows you watch, and what you search for online 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 browsing data — 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!
If you have any questions about how CyberGhost VPN protects your privacy online, you can contact our friendly customer support team 24/7.
Think twice before connecting to public Wi-Fi. Hotels, bars, and restaurants often have unsecured hotspots, making them an attractive target for cybercrooks. Anyone using them is a potential victim.
Our app protects your internet data with tough VPN encryption. This prevents malicious hackers from intercepting your traffic and stealing your passwords, credit card details, and other sensitive info.
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.
When this happens, 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 using 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 Love/Hate!
I’m Connected to an Irish Server, Why Can’t I Access RTÉ Player?
It’s no secret that streaming services 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 give you secure, reliable access to your favorite platforms. 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.
You can watch athletics, swimming, gymnastics, tennis, track cycling, fencing, and many other live sports events on RTÉ Player. You also get access to sports documentaries and other related content.

Can I use a VPN to unblock a streaming service from a different country?
Some streaming fans may connect to a VPN server in the country where a certain streaming service is available in order to watch from a different country. While we don't snoop on our users' online activity, this is against our terms of service and is not acceptable.
Rest assured that CyberGhost VPN never logs your browsing data and your activity is always private, but you should always comply with all relevant terms and applicable law, including copyright.
