Popular streaming services such as Netflix, iPlayer, ITV HUB etc, tend to block vpn connections so you can’t access the app while connected. Users prefer to connect to USA Netflix as there is over 50% more content which isn’t available in such as the UK. Streamers wanting to access UK streaming services (iPlayer, ITV HUB) from outside the UK will also require a vpn to watch content on those apps.
We tested Quad VPN with the following Streaming Services:
On the UK Streaming server we tested all of the above streaming apps and all worked apart from Prime Video. Prime video is possibly the least likely app you would use a vpn with so this doesn’t concern us. Every other app worked perfectly with no issues.
On the USA Streaming server we tested Netflix, Disney Plus & Prime Video. All 3 apps worked fine and also allowed us to access US content from the UK.
A vpn isn’t really needed when using these streaming apps, but maybe required for iPlayer & ITV Hub if you are out of the UK. Or you may want to use a vpn for such as Netflix or Prime video to gain access to more content by connecting to a US server.
NOTE: This doesn’t apply to third party streaming apps, only Official Subscription Streaming Apps.
