What's available

If you're in Romania and trying to watch Channel 4's streaming platform, My4, you'll find access is geo-blocked. Channel 4 is a UK-based broadcaster, and its on-demand service is restricted to viewers with a UK IP address. Without a VPN, you won't be able to stream anything from the platform while physically located in Romania.

What you're missing

The UK My4 library is packed with content you simply can't reach from Romania without a workaround. You're missing out on some genuinely great shows and films, including:

  • Taskmaster — the beloved comedy panel show with rotating celebrity contestants
  • Gogglebox — one of Channel 4's longest-running hits
  • The Great British Bake Off — still exclusively on Channel 4 in the UK
  • Derry Girls — the critically acclaimed Irish comedy series
  • It's a Sin — Russell T Davies' acclaimed drama about the AIDS crisis
  • Hollyoaks — full episode catch-up for the long-running soap
  • Channel 4 Film4 movies — a rotating library of curated films including independent and arthouse titles

All of this content is locked to UK viewers only, leaving Romanian audiences completely shut out.

How to access other regions

To unblock Channel 4 from Romania, you need a VPN. A VPN routes your internet traffic through a server in another country, masking your real location. To access My4, you'll need to connect to a UK server. Once connected, visit Channel 4's website or app — it will detect a UK IP address and grant you full access.

We recommend NordVPN as your first choice. It has a large selection of UK servers, consistently bypasses geo-restrictions, and offers fast streaming speeds with minimal buffering. Simply install NordVPN, select a United Kingdom server, and load up My4.

Pricing

My4 (Channel 4's streaming service) offers a free ad-supported tier. A premium tier called Channel 4 streaming+ removes ads and is priced in GBP. Pricing is not displayed in Romanian lei (RON) since the service is not officially available in Romania. Expect to pay around £3.99/month for the ad-free upgrade once you have UK access.

Our recommendation

If you're in Romania and want access to Channel 4's full library — from Bake Off to Derry Girls — a VPN is your only realistic option. NordVPN makes the process straightforward: connect to a UK server, open My4, and you're in. The free tier means you can start watching without spending anything beyond your VPN subscription, making this one of the better-value streaming workarounds available to Romanian viewers.
