Why Proton VPN is the best VPN for streaming

Proton VPN was developed by the same team of scientists that created Proton Mail, the world’s largest encrypted email service. We designed Proton VPN to enable people everywhere to access their favorite content regardless of their location, including TV shows, movies, and live sports.

Access from anywhere

If you're traveling, watch your favorite streaming services as if you're back home with Proton VPN Plus. Stream Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and more with our global network of Plus servers. Connect up to 10 devices at once so everyone can watch their favorite TV on their own device.

High-speed streaming

Enjoy smooth, fast streaming no matter where you go in the world. We have high-speed (10 Gbps) Plus VPN servers in more than 60 countries, and our unique VPN Accelerator can boost speeds by up to 400% in certain conditions.

Secure streaming

Stream safely on any device. We only use the most secure VPN protocols, like OpenVPN, IKEv2, and WireGuard. All Proton VPN connections are protected with advanced encryption, such as AES-256 or ChaCha20.

A high-speed VPN that prevents throttling

VPN Accelerator

The biggest obstacle to providing fast VPN connections is the geographic distance between your device, the VPN server, and the server hosting your website. This can lead to long buffering times if you are abroad but trying to watch a local TV show. VPN Accelerator solves this issue by increasing VPN connection speeds by over 400%, letting you stream your favorite local content uninterrupted even if you’re on the other side of the globe.

WireGuard

WireGuard is an advanced, lightweight VPN protocol that uses state-of-the-art ChaCha20 encryption to deliver high-speed, stable connections. Watch your favorite movies in 4K without slowdowns or interruptions.

No throttling

Without a VPN, your internet provider can see your online browsing and throttle, or intentionally slow down, your internet connection while you’re watching movies. They might do this to encourage you to upgrade your plan or discourage you from using a competitor’s streaming service.

Proton VPN encrypts your internet traffic and DNS requests, preventing your internet provider from spying on your online activity or slowing down your connection. With Proton VPN, you’ll always get the fastest connection possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s not illegal to use a VPN for streaming, but you need to make sure you comply with the terms and conditions of the service you're using. For example, the Netflix terms of use(new window) say:

“You may access the Netflix content primarily within the country in which you have established your account and only in geographic locations where we offer our service and have licensed such content”.

So using a VPN to watch content that’s not licensed for the area you’re currently in is against Netflix’s policy. However, you have a right to watch content you pay for and can normally access when you’re home.

Streaming can take up a lot of bandwidth. That's why some internet service providers (ISPs) will intentionally slow down, or throttle, your connection if it sees you're streaming. When you use Proton VPN, your ISP can't see what you're doing online, so it won't slow down your connection.

A VPN also allows you to browse the internet as though you were in a different place. By connecting to one of our Plus servers located in more than 60 countries, you can access TV that is only available in that region.
