You might find one that works, however it is not permitted by NOW like Netflix.

FYI that I do not work for NOW, just a NOW customer trying to help

Now does not work over VPNs from anywhere to anywhere.

You might have more luck with Smart DNS, but I have found that to be a game of whack-a-mole.

You can download Now programmes while in the UK and then watch them abroad, though. OK for On Demand, but not much use for Live, alas 😢

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it.
Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now.
That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

I think NOW put more effort into spotting VPN's than most , however I have to say in my case I spend 3 months in UK and 3 months in S.E.Asia and invariably the £20 Sky Sports offer comes around when I'm abroad and I'm not able to take it up but on returning and a brief explanation of my plight they allow me the offer price even if it's expired. Due to the impossible streaming while I'm away I cancel my sub before I go to save wasting....
