A VPN can add a layer of privacy to your internet traffic and is sometimes used by travelers who want a consistent connection experience while abroad.
VPNs route your traffic through an additional server, which can reduce your effective streaming speed — this sometimes causes more buffering rather than less, especially with free or lower-quality VPN services.
For most Arsal Digital customers, a VPN isn't necessary — our servers are already optimized for direct international streaming. If you do choose to use one, a reputable, paid VPN with servers near your location will perform best.
