What changes when the VPN is on
Video travels inside an encrypted tunnel. The Wi-Fi or mobile network you use can tell that you are connected to a VPN server, but not what you are watching. Some providers slow video at peak hours, and encrypted traffic is harder to pick out and throttle.
Servers in 44 countries help when you travel. Connect to a server back home and keep watching the services you already subscribe to, where their terms allow it.
Server and protocol for steady playback
Distance to the server matters more than any other setting. Start with the server nearest to you, or the nearest one inside the country you need.
WireGuard is usually the quickest protocol. When a video keeps buffering, move to a different server in the same city first. Change the protocol only if that does not help.
- Set Settings > Connection > Protocol to WireGuard
- Pick a server near you
- Still buffering? Move to another server in the same city or country
TVs and streaming boxes
VPN Club has an Android TV app. After you buy a plan, get it from the Downloads tab in your dashboard and sign in with your VPN Club ID and password.
A TV or box that cannot run a VPN app can be covered at the router instead. Load a WireGuard configuration file on the router, and every device connected to it goes through the VPN.
Where a VPN cannot help
Each streaming service decides where it is offered, and many look for VPN traffic and block it. A service may play on one server and fail on another, and that can change from week to week. VPN Club does not promise access to any service or catalog.
Read the terms of the services you use. Some countries also restrict VPN use by law, so look up the local rules before a trip.
