Why a VPN can make streaming smoother
Some internet providers slow down video traffic once they recognise it. Inside an encrypted tunnel that traffic is no longer recognisable as video, so provider-side throttling based on traffic type has nothing to act on.
What a VPN cannot promise
Streaming services license content region by region and actively block VPN addresses. No VPN can guarantee a given catalogue in a given country, and we will not claim otherwise. What we can control is speed, stability and the size of our address pool.
Speed is mostly about protocol and distance
Pick a location near you and use a modern protocol. WireGuard's lean design keeps overhead low; on iOS at launch we use IKEv2/IPsec, which reconnects quickly when you move between Wi-Fi and cellular.
