How to stream Movies & TV shows with NordVPN

NordVPN is one of the world’s best virtual private network providers. Launched in 2012, it’s proven itself completely secure and trustworthy. It gives you secure access to personal information and online identity private.

But more than that, VPN gives you an opportunity to stream your favourite movies and TV shows even when they aren’t available in your country. Or in case the movie you want to watch is available in your country, but on a less prominent provider. Yet another case of VPN usage is when you stay in a country with really strict censorship and your usual streaming service is banned entirely.

By installing NordVPN, you allow yourself to forget about all the content restrictions in your location and enjoy some quality movies and TV shows. Are you afraid of installing NordVPN on your computer? Don't worry, it's very easy and secure. We will help you to get there.

What is NordVPN and its main features?

As we said above, NordVPN is one of the world’s leading VPN providers, which lets you keep your privacy while browsing the internet, so you can be sure there are no any data leaks. But more than that, you can also enjoy watching your favourite movies and TV shows even when they are not available on the streaming services in your country, or when you travel abroad.

Main features:

• Uninterrupted streaming - Some Internet providers deliberately slow down internet speed at peak times, and it can totally ruin your streaming, unless you are a VPN user. NordVPN will save your movie night by bypassing this limitation and will give you a fast connection when streaming or downloading media content.
• NordVPN has VPN servers everywhere - You can choose from over 5,600 servers in 60 countries. No more limits, no more borders, no more internet censorship.
• Split tunneling - With this feature, you can choose which apps need VPN protection and which can access the internet directly. The first group benefits from the safety of the secure tunnel of your VPN, while the second group enjoys faster speeds and access to local services.
