A VPN is the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds by encrypting your traffic. Using a VPN is also a good idea if you're connected to a Wi-Fi network while traveling and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. Streaming TV can go a little smoother with a reliable, high-quality VPN that has passed our testing and security standards.

You can use a VPN to legally stream content as long as VPNs are allowed in your country and you have a valid subscription to the streaming service you use. The USA and Canada are among the countries where VPNs are legal. However, we advise against streaming or downloading content from illegal torrent sites. We recommend ExpressVPN, but you can also choose another provider from our best list such as Surfshark or NordVPN.
