VPN works but often reduces speeds and can cause content access issues.

VPN providers maintain streaming-optimized servers that are less blocked.

VPN speed impact: typical 10-30% reduction. More on overloaded servers.

Speed with WireGuard is close to no-VPN in my tests.

Some ISPs specifically throttle streaming services. VPN bypasses this.

VPN split tunneling: VPN only for streaming, direct for everything else. Best of both.

Split tunneling is the way to go if your VPN supports it.
