The best VPN for unlimited users and devices is Surfshark. It doesn’t put a limit on connections per account, it offers secure and intuitive apps, and it’s very affordable on multi-year plans. Private Internet Access (PIA) is another unlimited option, with a verified no-logs policy, while IPVanish is ideal for anonymous streaming on your TV.
Most VPNs won’t let you use one account on as many devices as you like: only 19% of the 36 paid VPNs I’ve reviewed support unlimited devices.
Many also lack apps for the full range of devices you’re likely to own.
While many VPNs still limit the number of active connections or devices you can use, device policies have greatly improved over the years.
Top-tier VPNs now offer at least 10 simultaneous connections per account, as well as extra features for easier use on TVs and game consoles.

The Best Unlimited Device VPNs Reviewed
Compare my shortlisted unlimited-device VPNs side by side in the table below:
Surfshark is one of my highest-rated VPNs and will suit most people, especially anyone on a tight budget.
The VPN is secure, delivers fast speeds, and works with most content platforms. It offers an unlimited device policy.
Surfshark’s 7-day free trial is a great way to test-drive one of the best VPNs on the market without spending a dime.

Very Affordable with Many Free Extras
For only $2.49/mo over 27 months, Surfshark represents phenomenal value.
While it’s not the fastest VPN out there, you won’t notice any slowdown when loading pages or videos. It also unblocks more content platforms than PIA and IPVanish, which more than makes up for the slightly slower speeds.
Alongside all the non-negotiable privacy and security features I expect from a VPN service, Surfshark’s standard subscription throws in a wide selection of bonus tools at no extra cost.
The most noteworthy free extras include multi-hop servers, rotating IPs, an ad blocker, a cookie pop-up blocker, and even a GPS spoofing tool on Android.
Some of Surfshark’s advanced settings.
Surfshark’s device compatibility is comparable to PIA’s, though its desktop apps take up more screen space than PIA’s.
I found Surfshark’s mobile apps easy to use, even if sluggish server connection times were occasionally frustrating.
As with IPVanish, there’s no Smart DNS proxy for use on a game console. If you want to use a VPN with your PlayStation or Xbox, PIA is the better choice.
7-Day Free Trial via Mobile & Desktop
One of Surfshark’s unique perks is that you can try it for free on desktop or mobile. For context, most VPNs only offer free trials via iOS and Android.
Once you’ve signed up for the free trial, you can use it on up to three devices.
The trial requires payment details, so if you don’t cancel it in time, you’ll be upgraded to a paid subscription, at which point the 30-day refund policy kicks in.
In practice, this means that you can use Surfshark for up to 37 days for free.
IPVanish places no limit on the number of devices you can connect to a single account, so every screen in your home stays protected at once, whether that’s a smartphone, a tablet, or the TV in another room.
Above all, the service is a strong choice for anonymous streaming. Its Fire TV Stick and Android TV apps are excellent: on smart TVs, streams loaded quickly and played smoothly in all my tests.
A strict no-logs policy keeps your viewing history off the record, while robust encryption hides it from anyone snooping on your network.
IPVanish isn’t perfect, though. The desktop app feels clunky compared to slicker rivals, and it lacks a few popular extras: browser extensions, dedicated IPs, and a Smart DNS proxy.
But for private, low-fuss streaming across an entire household, it punches above its weight.
I connected to IPVanish on three different devices using the same account.
Great Apps for Smart TVs
When it comes to streaming on the big screen, IPVanish is the strongest performer on my list. It’s my highest-rated VPN for smart TVs, and its Fire TV and Android TV apps are the reason.
Both proved easy to navigate in my testing, and the black-and-green interface looked especially sharp on a TV.

Whichever app you use, you can expect fast speeds on all servers: IPVanish slowed my baseline speed by just 12% on average worldwide.
It now works smoothly with 17 Netflix regions, HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu, though it can still stumble with the odd service (like Kayo Sports or DAZN).
Secure & Private Server Network
IPVanish excels at keeping the data you send across the internet private, at home or on the move.
Every one of its 3,400 servers is owned outright by the company and runs on a strict no-logs basis, so your browsing and streaming activity is never monitored or recorded.
Owning the entire network also means no reliance on third-party providers, leaving IPVanish in full control of how its security is configured and verified.
These servers give you access to over 56,000 anonymous IP addresses, a remarkable tally that puts most rivals to shame.
The one misstep is that the kill switch isn’t enabled by default in every app, so turn it on the first time you open it.
Private Internet Access (PIA) strikes an excellent balance between performance and price. It has an unlimited device policy with no fixed cap on connections.
With zero data logging, fast speeds, and a price of just $2.19/mo over 26 months, PIA is one of the cheapest ways to cover every device you own.
Despite a large selection of advanced security settings, all the apps are nicely designed with a clutter-free home screen and good navigation.
You can connect to PIA on multiple devices.
Advanced Apps Across Many Platforms
The VPN service has one of the widest ranges of apps, covering Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Fire TV, Android TV, and Apple TV.
All the apps are easy to use, and I really like the effort that’s been made to keep their appearance and usability consistent across all platforms.
More tech-savvy users also get a large set of advanced settings and features to tinker with.
These settings include custom DNS, port forwarding, two types of kill switch, an ad and tracker blocker, dedicated IPs, split tunneling, multi-hop servers, and more.
You can customize your VPN connection down to the samllest detail.
PIA’s device compatibility could be even better if it fixed its Smart DNS proxy, which doesn’t work with several geo-restricted streaming services.
Strong Choice for Privacy-Focused Users
While PIA isn’t the best for streaming, it’s much better at hiding your internet activity, especially the files you download or share.
Its large P2P-friendly server network of 18,651 endpoints delivers exceptional download speeds.
Moreover, PIA’s no-logs policy has been repeatedly proven by court orders and server seizures. Simply put, PIA never logs your activity.
To find the best VPNs with unlimited device policies, I tested 59 services across computers, smartphones, streaming devices, TVs, game consoles, and even routers.
I’ve only recommended VPNs that don’t cap connections at all, and are compatible with the widest range of platforms and devices.
The table below summarizes how my recommended VPNs performed in testing:
Below are the key criteria I evaluate and how much each contributes toward a VPN’s overall rating.
1. Device Policy (20%)
I check every VPN I’ve reviewed to make sure its claimed connection limits are accurate.
I sign in on as many devices as possible to verify that the VPN services are living up to their word, and that there are no hidden restrictions on supposedly “unlimited connections.”
2. Device Compatibility (20%)
At a minimum, I expect a VPN to have native apps for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
The very best VPNs must also offer solutions for other popular platforms, including streaming devices like Fire TV and Android TV, as well as Linux.
Even so, there are some devices that don’t support VPNs (like game consoles, Roku devices, and some smart TVs). To address this, I check for a Smart DNS proxy and VPN router support.
3. Privacy (15%)
A core function of a VPN is to improve your privacy online. If it doesn’t do this, then it’s not worthy of my recommendation.
I examine each VPN’s privacy policy, especially its logging policy. I take into account any independent audits that the VPN has undertaken as well as real-world proof that it’s truly no-logs, such as server seizures and court cases.
4. Security (15%)
A VPN service must offer the most secure protocols, such as WireGuard, OpenVPN, or an equivalent proprietary alternative (e.g. ExpressVPN’s Lightway).
Using Wireshark, I check that any data transferred over the internet through a VPN connection is fully encrypted and therefore indecipherable if intercepted.
The most secure VPNs will use AES-256 or ChaCha20 encryption, depending on the protocol used.
A VPN must also have a working kill switch to prevent your real IP address from becoming visible if the VPN connection drops.
5. Speed (15%)
While every VPN will slow down your internet, the fastest VPNs will barely affect it so that you can carry out your online activities as normal.
High-quality VPNs reduce internet speeds by less than 10% when connecting to nearby servers, and by less than 20% for distant ones.
6. Streaming (15%)
Bypassing streaming geo-restrictions is one of the most common reasons to use a VPN. I regularly test each VPN against 120 popular geo-blocked content platforms worldwide.
The most effective VPNs unblock most of these services on all devices, smoothly and at the highest resolutions.
FAQs
Are Unlimited Connections Really Unlimited?
Generally speaking, an unlimited device policy means that you can use the VPN at the same time on as many devices as you want.
That being said, most VPNs have a fair use policy that allows them to interrupt connections if they detect abuse.
Some VPNs unofficially cap connections at 20, although I haven’t seen Surfshark, PIA, or IPVanish do this in my tests.
Are There Free VPNs with Unlimited Device Policies?
Windscribe is the only safe free VPN with an unlimited device policy.
All other secure free services allow only one simultaneous connection. To get around this restriction, you’ll have to create a new VPN account, using a different email address, for each device.
Can I Share My VPN Subscription with Others?
Yes, you can share your VPN subscription with others, but keep in mind your VPN provider’s fair use policy. If you share it with too many people, the VPN service may block certain devices.
Can I Connect to a Different Server on Each Device?
Yes. The VPN app on each device works independently, so you can choose a different server or settings on each one, as long as your subscription allows multiple simultaneous connections.
