I thought I had heard of people doing something like this.
How much does it cost?
And it doesn't matter that your billing address is in the US?
And do you use a paid VPN service or a free one?
The cost, anything I quote you would be wrong, it's changed every year. Right now for example it's $50 but it's only for the rest of the season, meaning like nothing (though they still justify it being that high with the ability to watch all the prior games etc). I think I paid $150 for it this year. The big thing to know here is you must sign up
while connected using a VPN. There are two versions of NFL Gamepass: The US / UK / Anywhere they have an agreement with DirecTV version, which does NOT offer live games, just replays and the rest of it. That version has a substantially lower cost. Alternately, the "everywhere they don't have an agreement with DirecTV" version, specifically Germany works for it. When you go to the sign up page the key to look for is the keyword "live games", as that's the difference of course, and the cost is higher. It should be noted that if you don't care about the live games (you already have a system for them or whatever) and just want the games in 40' and replays etc the US version is obviously fine and you can skip the VPN altogether.
The billing address being in the US has been a total non-issue so far. There are ways to do it if it does become an issue, but as long as you sign up when connected to non-US internet (using the VPN), on the site where it says "live games", they take US billing info no problem and still deliver the promised content. If you accidentally connect when not using VPN it'll even just say something like "you are connected from outside your (region), would you like to sign up for the US Gamepass?", and going back to the website when on VPN loads it normally, so you don't have to worry about "tipping them off" or anything crazy, it's all easy peasy, low stress stuff.
I use a paid VPN, because it's important to me that:
1) The VPN I use is reliable
2) The VPN I use is secure (including keeping no logs)
3) The VPN I use offers decent speeds.
Free VPNs rarely hit one of those, and never hit all 3. The one I use is Private Internet Access and it's cheap, something like $20 per year, while still delivering on those key points. It offers a variety of US connect locations and overseas ones including the all important German one for this purpose.
