Best VPN for streaming

Weighted for unblocking geo-restricted catalogues. Read the honesty note: we do not run our own unblock suite, so the streaming dimension is vendor-claimed and capped, this is the least independently grounded ranking we publish.

This is the same cohort as the all-round ranking, scored on the same evidence, only the weighting changes. Dimensions that matter more for this use case pull harder; the providers do not move because we found new facts, but because a different question is being asked of the same ones.

This is the least independently grounded ranking we publish.

We do not run our own unblock suite, so the streaming dimension is vendor-claimed and capped: no provider can reach the top of the scale on a number it asserted about itself. Weight the result accordingly, each streaming figure carries a vendor-claimed tag and a capped ≤6.5 ceiling, marking exactly which part of the score rests on a claim we have not verified.

Each bar is the interval a score provably sits in: the left edge is what a provider has earned outright, the right edge is the most it could reach if everything we have not measured went perfectly. The mark is the published figure, see the methodology.

How this ranking is weighted

Streaming. For readers unblocking geo-restricted catalogues. Note the honesty cost: this site does not run its own unblock suite, so the streaming dimension is capped at a vendor-claimed ceiling and this ranking is the least independently grounded one we publish.

See the methodology for the full weight table and how each dimension is scored.

Reading a score

Measured
We produced this number ourselves and can reproduce it.
Documented
Read out of a primary document: a privacy policy, an audit report, or source code.
Vendor-claimed
Asserted by the provider. We have not independently verified it, and the score is capped accordingly.
No evidence
We found nothing to score. The dimension is excluded from the weighted mean rather than counted as zero.
