Unblocks 32 Netflix libraries
PrivateVPN’s free trial is great if you want to unblock streaming services all over the world. It’s a very reliable VPN for unblocking Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime Video, and more.
The VPN service comes with the highest number of dedicated servers for Netflix that we’ve seen. It can unblock up to 32 different Netflix libraries, the second highest number after Windscribe.
Also, PrivateVPN has dedicated servers for Hulu, HBO Max, Sky Go, DAZN, Hotstar and IPTV. We equally like its intuitive Amazon Fire TV app that has the same dedicated streaming servers as the desktop version, unblocking geo-restricted content just as easily.
However, connection speeds on its dedicated streaming servers aren’t always as strong as we expect them to be. PrivateVPN comes with 150 servers across 60 countries, but the streaming servers are very popular and therefore often congested, resulting in slower streaming speeds.
Sadly, PrivateVPN has no SmartDNS feature, which rules out testing PrivateVPN on Apple TV and games consoles like the Xbox Series S/X and PlayStation 5.
On the plus side, PrivateVPN works extremely well for torrenting. It’s got dedicated P2P servers, a no-logs privacy policy, and an effective kill switch to prevent accidental IP address leaks. PrivateVPN owns and controls dedicated IP servers, and therefore handles DNS requests directly, and not by third-party data handlers.
