VPNs for Streaming
Watching another country's catalog, or keeping your own subscriptions working abroad, is the job most people buy a VPN for. Streaming platforms block VPN address ranges constantly, so a list of logos on a provider's homepage says what it hoped worked on the day the page was written, not what works tonight. Weigh which platforms and regions the provider names, whether it offers servers or a Smart DNS feature built for streaming, whether it has native apps for the TV and streaming stick you own, and whether it limits simultaneous connections in a way that matters for a household watching on several screens.
