If you have been on the internet for quite a while now, you must have come across the term “VPN”. If you haven’t, that’s fine. We’ll cover everything you need to know about VPNs in this article and why you would stand to benefit from using them. We also recommend using it when you are streaming your favourite movies and TV shows.

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. These programs provide devices with an encrypted network connection, that can hide their IP addresses and other connection information while surfing around the internet. Read on to find out what other things you can enjoy on the internet with the help of a VPN. 

One thing you do need with a VPN connection is a working internet. Before turning on the VPN, you must stay connected to the internet. Also, VPN takes up a lot of internet data; prepare to have your internet speed faster than 25 Mbps at least. On that account, reach out to Xfinity customer service for a reliable internet plan at an affordable rate. 

Moving on, let’s explore how having a VPN will make streaming convenient for you:

Unblock Geo-Blocked Libraries and Content 

One of the advantages of using a VPN when streaming is getting access to geo-blocked libraries and content. 

For instance, a person who cannot access Netflix in his country can now stream Netflix with the help of a VPN and there is no need for him to move to another country where Netflix is available. Or Netflix content is limited to some countries i.e. the content on Netflix you can access from the US cannot be streamed in another country. The most popular movies such as Avengers: Infinity War, Black Hawk Down, or Thor: Ragnarok are all available for US Netflix streamers but geo-locked for other countries around the world.  

But having a VPN connection makes it all possible. Just connect to the server of the country where streaming service or content is available and then proceed to stream it on your device. 

Secure Streaming When Connected to Public Wi-Fi

Public Wi-Fi connections are a lifesaver; the system ensures that you stay online even after you are away from home. But public Wi-Fi still poses a risk. They are not often secure, which means that your activity on public Wi-Fi may be visible to other Wi-Fi users. 

However, that’s where VPN saves the day. When you are accessing the web while connected to public Wi-Fi, the VPN masks your online activities and location and makes sure that your data is encrypted. Hence, be sure to connect to VPN when using public Wi-Fi to stream your favourite movies. 

Better Speeds and Less Loading Times

When streaming movies, you are often so excited to catch up that you are always left disappointed by the lengthy loading times, buffering, and slower streaming speed. This happens when your bandwidth fails as ISP throttles your internet connection. 

This can easily be bypassed with the help of a VPN. The VPN improves latency by providing a direct connection from your network. The time required is greatly reduced, hence improving latency and providing a lag-free streaming experience. 

No matter what you are doing online, a VPN creates a fast and stable connection.

Keep Your Device Safe

Despite its many amazing features, the furthest thing that you would expect a VPN to do for you is to keep your device safe from any malware. 

Malware is referred to as viruses, worms, Trojans, and other computer software that are malicious to your devices. They are used by cybercriminals and hackers to gain access to the sensitive information stored on your device. 

To prevent that from happening, you can connect any streaming service to a VPN, which is capable of scanning files for threats. However, it is still advised to exercise caution when downloading or streaming files over the internet.

Zero Privacy Concerns

No matter what streaming service you use or what website you visit on the internet, privacy is always a concern. Because the truth is that most streaming services or websites collect your browsing activity (what you are browsing, how long you were browsing for, what other things were you browsing, etc.), thus putting sensitive information at risk of being leaked to third-party threats. 

It is definitely advised that you research the website or streaming services before fully utilizing it. Or you can just eliminate your privacy concerns by getting a VPN which ensures that your data and online activities are confidential. 

Wrapping Up

Now that you know how VPN is useful when you are streaming, you should definitely keep one on your device. Whether you are looking for a seamless experience, better security, or access to inaccessible content, VPN is the solution to that.
