Why you should stream with a Prime Video VPN

Internet service providers (ISPs) are known to artificially slow your connection speeds(new window) when you’re streaming. Your provider can see exactly what you're doing online, and limiting, or “throttling,” your speeds is how they conserve their bandwidth rather than upgrading it. Shared and public WiFi networks also restrict streaming to manage bandwidth for all users. The best way to get around these limits is to encrypt your Prime Video streaming.

Proton VPN encrypts your internet traffic and hides your location, so you’re shielded from these external restrictions. Your streaming activity will look like ordinary encrypted traffic, so ISPs and network administrators won’t think to throttle or block it.

Why choose Proton VPN for Prime Video streaming?

Stream with up to 400% faster speeds

Not only does Proton VPN hide your streaming activity to protect it from content-based throttling, but our VPN Accelerator also ensures that the VPN doesn’t slow you down, boosting speeds up to 400%.

The easiest way to bypass network blocks

Hotels, airports, and workplaces can restrict streaming traffic. Proton VPN routes your connection through an encrypted VPN tunnel, bypassing these blocks so you can stream uninterrupted, even from shared networks abroad.

Watch with complete privacy

As a no-logs VPN, Proton doesn’t track what you watch or do online. Your ISP, network admins, and third parties can’t see your streaming activity — it stays between you and your screen.

Stream securely on every network

Public WiFi at hotels and airports puts your data at risk. Anyone on the same network could intercept your traffic — including your login credentials. Proton VPN's encryption and security protocols prevent snooping, keeping online traffic private.

Fast and secure streaming for all devices

Proton VPN works with every major platform: Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and Chromebooks, plus streaming devices like Apple TV, Fire TV Stick, and Android TV devices. And unlike most VPNs, you can stream on up to 10 devices simultaneously with one account.

30-day money-back guarantee

Try Proton VPN for Prime Video risk-free. If you’re not satisfied within 30 days, we’ll refund your payment in full.
