What is HBO Max?

HBO Max, now branded Max, is the home of HBO originals like House of the Dragon and The Last of Us, plus Warner films and DC titles. Its rollout and catalogue differ sharply from country to country.

Why is HBO Max geo-blocked?

Max is only sold in certain markets, and each market has its own library. In countries where it has not launched, or where a show is licensed to a rival, playback is blocked by IP.

Which ROOT server unblocks HBO Max?

Connect to a ROOT United States server to reach the US Max catalogue, which usually has the deepest HBO back-catalogue and the earliest premieres. You can browse every option on the the United States VPN page or the full list of ROOT locations.

HBO Max unblocking questions

Is HBO Max the same as Max?
Yes, HBO Max was rebranded to Max. The service, apps and login are the same, and a ROOT US server reaches the American library either way.
Why can I not get HBO Max in my country?
Max has not launched everywhere, and some HBO shows are licensed to other platforms locally. A ROOT US exit lets a US account stream the US catalogue.
Which US server works best for Max?
East-coast exits such as New York tend to route efficiently to Max's servers. If one exit stalls, switch to another US city and reload.
Do I still need an HBO Max subscription?
Yes. ROOT changes the region you appear in, but you must hold a valid Max account and the right to watch the content.
Is using a VPN for streaming legal?
Using a VPN is legal in most countries and ROOT is a legitimate privacy tool. ROOT changes where your connection appears to be, not what you are allowed to watch. Only stream content you have the right to access, with a valid subscription or entitlement where one is required.
