How to unblock Amazon Prime Video with Proton VPN
Prime Video is Amazon’s video-on-demand streaming service. It is the only place you can find Amazon-produced content, including The Man in the High Castle, Transparent, and Sneaky Pete. You can also stream some sports, like the English Premier League, on Prime Video as well.
If you are a paid Proton VPN plan, you can watch your favorite shows from the following countries’ Amazon Prime catalogs, no matter where you are!
- Argentina
- Australia
- Austria
- Brazil
- Canada
- Chile
- Colombia
- Costa Rica
- Czech Republic
- France

With Proton VPN, you can watch Amazon Prime no matter where you are!
Please note, however, that you must have an Amazon account registered in the country you would like to stream from. It is technically possible to manually change where your account is registered, but doing this very impractical for most people. Proton VPN therefore offers this service so that Prime members can access their home catalogue of titles when traveling or living abroad.
Watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is not the only thing you can stream with Proton VPN. You can also watch HBO Max(neues Fenster), Disney+(neues Fenster), and Netflix(neues Fenster). See all the streaming services you can access with our streaming guide for new users(neues Fenster).

How to watch Amazon Prime Video with Proton VPN
To watch the Australian, Canadian, French, German, Indian, Italian, Swiss, UK, Japanese, and US versions of Amazon Prime Video, you will need to connect to any Plus server located in your desired country (e.g., to watch the German version of Amazon Prime Video, you need to connect to a Plus server in Germany). As noted above you will also need an Amazon Prime account registered to an address in that country.
Plus servers can be found in the Plus servers list on our apps.
On your Android TV (app currently in beta testing), connecting to any of these countries will automatically connect you to a Plus server if you have the right subscription.
Plus servers are available for Plus and Visionary Plan subscribers. For the fastest and most reliable connection, please connect to the server that is closest to your current location. To find the nearest servers to you, check the full list of our servers(neues Fenster).
Proton VPN does not condone the use of our VPN service to bypass copyright regulations.
