Bilibili(new window) (nicknamed B-站 or B-Site) is a massive Chinese online video-sharing and live-streaming platform mostly known for anime, donghua, and Chinese/Korean dramas, plus a huge library of user-generated content (gaming, tech, vlogs, ACG culture).

Bilibili is free to use. Most of its content anime, dramas, and its large library of user-generated video is available at no cost. A paid membership tier, often called Premium or “Big Member” (VIP), is also available for viewers who want an enhanced experience.

You don’t need an account to access Bilibili as browsing user-generated content does not require an account. However, a free account is needed to watch most anime and dramas, as well as to comment or follow creators. Premium/VIP membership is optional and provides additional benefits such as ad-free viewing, higher resolution, and early access to new releases.

Bilibili isn’t the only platform you can stream with Proton VPN.
