Stream your favorite TV series, movies, and more from anywhere

Yes. If you’re watching a live event which is being televised from the country you are in, using a VPN will help you to bypass throttling, as your ISP will not be able to identify and slow down live streaming traffic. If you’re watching a live televised event from another country, connecting to a server in that country will help you to bypass geo-restrictions that may be placed on the streaming platform or the live stream itself.

However, some live television streaming services may require you to sign up for an account on their platform and will ask you to verify that you have a home address in that country in order to do so.

To stream live TV from another country, you will often have to connect to a VPN server in that country, in order to bypass any geo-restrictions that the streaming platform has placed on the live stream.

To stream live TV from another country using Proton VPN, you need to sign up for a Proton VPN Plus account (or upgrade to Plus if you currently have a free account) in order to access our streaming servers. You will also need to download and install the correct application for your device.

Once you have logged in to Proton VPN, connect to a Plus server in the country you would like to stream from. After you have connected, you can go to the video platform you would like to watch live TV from, and start streaming live TV.

Although using a VPN can slow down your internet speed, it’s unlikely this will impact streaming live television, as long as you connect to a service that uses high-speed servers. Proton VPN’s streaming servers have connection speeds of up to 10 Gbps, so you can securely stream live TV via VPN without interruption. Even on unstable connections, using WireGuard and Proton VPN’s VPN Accelerator technology can increase your speeds by over 400%.
