How to watch Peacock with Proton VPN

Launched in 2020, Peacock is a streaming service that features content from the NBC network (the name “Peacock” comes from the colorful NBC logo). The service primarily features series and film content from NBCUniversal studios and other third-party content providers, including television series, films, news, and sports programming.
