How to watch SyFy 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 (the app is 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 VPN Plus, Proton Unlimited, or Visionary (legacy users only) 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 3:
Register your TV provider with SyFy.
To access all of SyFy shows, you’ll need to have an account with a participating US TV provider. If you live in the US and the SyFy channel is part of your subscription package from a participating TV provider, you’ll be able to access all of SyFy’s on-demand streaming content. (This is assuming your TV subscription is in good standing.)
You can also access SyFy if you have a Hulu + Live TV account. You can access Hulu with Proton VPN as well.
A limited number of shows are available for free to users that do not have an account with a participating TV provider.

Start watching SyFy securely with Proton VPN!
Connect to a Plus server in the US, log in to SyFy, then kick back and relax.
