Due to a recent boom in streaming services, people are moving away from cable TV to online streaming platforms. 69% of the people in the US have a subscription to at least one streaming service. Some of the popular names in the industry are Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, and Disney Plus.

While this has helped viewers get the entertainment that they want wherever they are on their smartphones, tablets, etc. there has been a rise in VPN usage by streamers because most of these platforms are geo-restricted.

Although commonly known as online privacy tools, VPNs can also help you improve your streaming experience. These nifty tools encrypt your online activities and traffic which hides your true IP address, keeping your digital presence private.

If you are a fan of famous American shows like The 100, The Walking Dead, Criminal Minds, and many more, you will be well aware of the fact that watching American TV outside the US is not easy.
