Change your IP location. Set up IPVanish.
Watching a series away from home? IPVanish lets you choose your connection location and protect your connection on shared Wi-Fi. Choose your server country, connect and open your streaming app.
Choose a country in IPVanish, connect, then open your streaming app. The service sees the VPN server’s IP location instead of your usual one. That can help you access location-dependent services where your subscription and the provider’s rules allow it, while encrypting traffic between your device and the VPN server.
Affiliate disclosure: we may earn a commission if you buy through this link, at no extra cost to you. Check the current plan price and renewal terms before purchasing.How to set up IPVanish for streaming
- Check your viewing option. Choose the broadcaster and plan for your event or title from the viewing options above.
- Install and sign in. Choose your IPVanish plan, then install the IPVanish app from your device’s app store and sign in. Our Android TV setup guide explains the steps for compatible TV boxes.
