VPNs for ad-blocking The giant Joker-coloured elephant in the room, though, is how you go about watching it in Australia. Originally, the plan was for an exclusive theatrical release, assumedly made at a time when most Australia’s population wasn’t in lockdown. Unfortunately, that plan didn’t change, but there is still a way to watch The Suicide Squad from the comfort of your own home. No, no, we’re not talking about pirating the movie; we’re talking about using a VPN. Still keen to proceed? Then you’re going to need HBO Max. You’ll still need to use a VPN service that can bypass HBO Max’s geoblocking or a Smart DNS service like Getflix to access the content via browser or app on a compatible device.

All of these services allow simultaneous connects and offer apps for Android and iOS, which is handy for additional streaming options or, as you’ll read below, one of the ways to pay for HBO Max. Even though a bunch of Hulu content is available these days on Disney Plus in Australia (via the Star section), there are still reasons to sign up for a Hulu account. One of those reasons is that you can pay extra for add-ons like HBO Max, and the other is Hulu offers a one-month free trial and a seven-day HBO Max trial. If you set your calendar reminders properly, you can technically cancel both trials and watch The Suicide Squad for free. To sign up for a free Hulu trial, though, you need to enter payment details, which means either a credit card or PayPal account. The catch is it needs to be either a US credit card or a US PayPal account, which brings the US virtual credit card from above back into play. Thankfully, you can bypass this by grabbing a Hulu gift card from an online outlet like MyGiftCardSupply, then redeeming it at the Hulu ‘Redeem Your Gift’ page. You don’t need to use a VPN to purchase from a gift card retailer, but you should use one while signing up for Hulu, connected to a US server, and you need to be connected to a US VPN server (or using a Smart DNS service) to stream content. With one of these geoblocking side-steppers active, redeem your Hulu gift card and complete the sign-up process. From here, log in to Hulu then click on your name in the top right-hand corner and select ‘Account’. Once the page loads, select ‘Manage add-ons’, then scroll down until you find the option to add HBO Max. Fair warning, we only recommend this step for savvy Android users who don’t mind installing apps outside of the Google Play Store, which tends to have an inherent risk if you download the wrong files. From here, force your Android device to install the .apk file (a raw app file) from your downloads folder and you’re almost off to the races. Connect to a US VPN server on your Android smartphone or tablet, then set up a monthly or annually recurring payment subscription via Google Play. For my test, it didn’t work with an Australian PayPal account as a payment method but did with an Australian debit card. With the payment out of the way, you can use a VPN or Smart DNS service to access The Suicide Squad and other HBO Max content via a range of supported devices.
