About American Gods

An ex-convict, Shadow Moon, finds himself unexpectedly released from prison and adrift. He encounters the enigmatic Mr. Wednesday, a charismatic conman who draws Shadow into a hidden world. Shadow soon discovers that Mr. Wednesday is, in fact, an ancient god on a mission to gather his brethren. A war is brewing between the Old Gods of mythology, forgotten and fading, and the New Gods of technology and media, who are rapidly gaining power. Shadow must choose a side in this epic battle for the soul of America, as the fate of belief itself hangs in the balance.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

Why Use a VPN for Streaming?

- Bypass Geo-Restrictions: Many streaming services are geographically restricted. If you’re traveling outside the U.S., a VPN can make it appear as if you’re still in the country, giving you access to your subscriptions.
- Avoid ISP Throttling: Your internet provider might slow down your connection during high-bandwidth activities like streaming. A VPN encrypts your activity, preventing your ISP from throttling your speeds and ensuring a smooth, buffer-free experience.
- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.

How to get started with ExpressVPN:

- Sign Up: Purchase an ExpressVPN subscription.
- Download: Install the ExpressVPN app on your device.
- Connect: Open the app and connect to a server in the U.S.
- Stream: Log in to your streaming service and enjoy watching your favorite shows securely!
