The ABC app and ABC.com are TV Everywhere services that allow TV subscribers that get ABC and live in the US to stream ABC content on demand. While you can watch ABC.com on most smart phones and tablets, it only works if you are within the United States or a US territory. ABC shows include soap operas like General Hospital, late-night talk shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and drams like How to Get Away with Murder.
Proton VPN users can watch all their favorite ABC shows online at ABC.com!
But Modern Family is not the only thing you can watch with Proton VPN. You can also stream Disney+, HBO Now, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video. See all the streaming services you can access with our streaming guide for new users.
How to watch ABC shows online with Proton VPN:
Connect to any Plus server located in the United States. Plus servers have a “P” icon next to them.
On your Android TV (app currently in beta testing), connecting to United States 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.
Proton VPN does not condone the use of our VPN service to bypass copyright regulations.
Step 1:
Get a VPN Plus or Proton Unlimited subscription
If you already have a VPN Plus, Proton Unlimited, or Visionary (legacy users only) account, you can skip to step 2.
If you’re a new user, sign up for Proton VPN.
