How to watch Okko TV / Sport anywhere with a VPN

Russian online streaming platform – Okko TV provides a catalog of the most popular foreign videos with Russian voiceover and high quality. If you are a fan of home cinema or you have missed the film screening of a recently released movie and would like to see the original film in high quality then Okko TV exactly satisfies this request of the users.

In addition to entertainment content Okko includes sports programs too. On the site, under the section “Sports”, you can watch live broadcasts of the world Premier League, La Liga, MMA, Tennis, and more…

Unfortunately, all the listed advantages have a geographical limitations to access. According to the terms of services, only users who are located in Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Belarus can get full access to the service.

If you’re outside of the countries listed above but you are looking for a way to access 35,000 video content then you’re in the right place. This is the place where you’ll learn how to unlock Okko TV and Sports’ geographical restriction.

If you do not have time to know the reasons for the restriction we have prepared quick step-by-step instructions for streaming Okko TV outside Russia.


Analysis: Okko.tv is available only on the IP addresses of Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Azerbaijan. If your IP address does not correspond to the above countries you cannot access the platform.

The solution lies in the use of a VPN service. You need to choose a VPN provider who can provide a server with the IP address of the above countries or at least Russia. So you can buy a subscription and start watching movies and shows as if you are in Russia.

  1. Go to the Surfshark website. -it has VPN servers in Russia.
  2. Click on “Buy Now” to go to the plans page.

In this tutorial I teach you how to watch Okko TV and sports anywhere in the world.

Surfshark has two VPN servers in Russia. For Okko TV choose the server with the location in St. Petersburg. We noticed that the Moscow server is not able to avoid the restriction.

Of course, you will need to buy an Okko TV subscription. A subscription or renting movies online is available with an international bank card.


Why is Okko TV not available outside Russia?

Since Okko TV broadcasts movies and series of foreign media corporations such as Walt Disney, Warner Bros, Universal Studio, and other media branches, Okko TV must comply with copyrights and their restrictions while broadcasting. One of the rules is to restrict content to users who are in the Russian Federation only. Consequently, if you try to watch it outside of Russia you will get the following message:

Okko tv problem when you want to watch a show outside of Russia

When you try to watch okko.tv from a foreign IP address, of course, you will meet the following message, as well:

  • Вне зоны действия
    Okko недоступен в стране, в которой вы находитесь.
    Код ошибки: 502
  • Translation: Out of range
    Okko is not available in the country you are in now.
    Error: 502

In addition to popular foreign and Hollywood movies and TV shows Okko TV users also can enjoy sports broadcasts and recordings such as the World Premier League, Copa America, and MMA championships and tennis competitions.

However, when you are everywhere you will not be able to access this content either, because the rights holders of these sports releases require Okko TV to restrict access to some territories.

When you try to access Okko Sport abroad, you will encounter a "404" problem if you are not using a VPN service.

So, is there a solution to this problem?

Sure there is. Let’s get to it.

How to watch Okko TV/Sport everywhere?

Since you don’t get access in your country, we will change your virtual location which is determined by your IP address by using a VPN service with a server in Russia.

Connecting to a VPN, we will change your current IP address to a Russian one and encrypt your traffic to eliminate your access problem. By purchasing a VPN provider that offers a Russian VPN server we can perform encryption in Russia and also get a Russian IP address.

Please follow the instructions below to perform this operation. Don’t skip any steps.

Choosing the right VPN service

We will use the Surfshark VPN service with a server in St. Petersburg for this step-by-step instruction.


Surfshark is an excellent choice for Okko TV because the provider has a Russian VPN server with the highest speed – 79+ Mbps.

Surfshark does not have bandwidth limitations on the service compared to its competitors. It means unlimited movie and series broadcasting for Okko TV users.


Follow the instructions below to Purchase Subscription:

  • Go to SurfShark VPN Provider.
  • Click “Buy Now” to go to the plans page.
  • Choose a plan according to your budget and enter your email address.
  • Then choose a payment method and complete your purchase by clicking “Complete Purchase”.

After you do it you will receive an email with your login information. It means that you can continue the installation phase of the software:

  • On the VPN provider’s website under “Apps” download the app that corresponds to the device where you plan to use the VPN service and log in using the credentials you received in your email.

Connecting to the Russian server

Now there is only one limitation. Changing the IP address. Use the step-by-step instructions below to connect to the server.

  • After completing the installation of the software, launch the VPN app (make sure that the application has access to all permissions).
  • Select the Russian server and connect to it in the “Location” menu.

Note: Be sure you connect to the server with a location in St. Petersburg because the Moscow server can not provide unblocking the Okko sports channel from everywhere.

The connection button’s color will change to green. So now all your online activities are safe and encrypted through the Russian VPN server Surfshark.

If you follow the instructions you will be able to access the content on Okko TV when you are everywhere.

How to get a Russian number

One of the most important things especially for watching sports content on Okko Sports everywhere is to get a Russian phone number. Even if you have bought a subscription to watch live matches or recordings of sports content you will be asked to confirm your phone number. Unfortunately, Okko Sport is available to users who are in Russia only. Therefore you must have a Russian number to confirm it.

There are two ways to get a Russian number from anywhere in the world: a paid version and a free version. We have tested both methods and made sure that they both work. In order to get a free Russian number, please follow these instructions:

  • Visit onlinesim.ru
  • Scroll down the page and choose “Receiving SMS to free virtual numbers”. Select one of the suggested numbers from the left side of the screen
  • Enter the number on the Okko TV website when it requests the confirmation of your number.
  • Go back to Onlinesim.ru and wait for the code at the bottom of the text “All messages”. If there is no code from Okko update messages by clicking on the button “update” next to “Select number”
  • Enter the code for confirmation. Now you have a confirmed account with a Russian phone number.

Note: The offered phone numbers are open to all users. Therefore there is a high chance that the number you choose is already busy. It happened when we tested all suggested numbers on weekends. Special offer for you to buy a virtual phone number just for $0.60.

Follow these steps to buy a phone number:

  • Visit onlinesim.ru
  • Create your account by clicking on “Register”.
  • Refill your balance by clicking on the “Currencies” symbol at the top of the screen
  • Choose a currency, payment method, and amount. $1.82 is enough to get the code.
  • Then follow the instructions and complete the payment to refill your balance.

Go back to the control panel after refilling your balance. Select “Russia” scroll down in the search and enter “Okko”. Now you can get a dedicated virtual number for Okko for 3 rubles. This number will be valid for 15 minutes.

Confirm your phone with this phone number on Okko TV.

Summing up Okko TV streaming

From our experience of unblocking streaming platforms, Okko TV is one of the most difficult. To avoid geographical restrictions in streaming platforms like Netflix or BBC iPlayer we need to choose a VPN service that provides dedicated services. But with Okko TV we need to find a VPN provider that can actually change the IP address to Russian, avoid the Okko TV filter, as well as a virtual phone number to confirm access to the Okko Sports channel.

Fortunately, VPN providers like Sufshark, Cyberghost, and VyprVPN are able to provide us with a working VPN server in Russia to get what you want. If you follow our instructions you will be able to confirm your Russian phone number even if you are in the United States.
