About VPN for Streaming
VPN for Streaming was built out of personal necessity
I started VPN for Streaming to fix that problem. This site exists to provide one thing: accurate, regularly tested data on which VPN services actually work with which streaming platforms — right now, not six months ago
I am Denis Milchevskiy, and I live in Eastern Europe — in a country where access to major streaming platforms, social networks, and online services is either restricted or entirely blocked. For years, I have depended on VPNs not as a convenience but as a daily requirement. Every time a platform disappeared from my region, I had to find a VPN that could restore access — quickly, reliably, and without destroying my connection speed.
What I found was frustrating. Most VPN review sites published generic recommendations based on spec sheets and marketing claims. Very few showed evidence that anyone had actually opened a streaming app, connected to a server, and pressed play. Rankings contradicted each other. Information was outdated within weeks. Services that supposedly “unblocked Netflix” would fail on the first attempt.
What We Do
Every recommendation on this site is backed by hands-on testing. We evaluate 30+ VPN services per streaming platform and per device category, measuring real-world performance rather than relying on provider claims. Our current test suite covers 61 streaming services across multiple regions, including Netflix (18+ libraries), Disney+, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, DAZN, Peacock, Paramount+, ITVX, and dozens of regional platforms.
For each VPN we test, we document unblocking success rates, connection speeds (benchmarked from New York, London, and Tokyo on a standardized 500 Mbps fiber baseline), latency, buffering behavior, and compatibility across six device categories: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Fire TV Stick, and Apple TV.
We do not test once and forget. Streaming platforms continuously update their VPN detection systems, and VPN providers continuously rotate their server infrastructure. A VPN that unblocked Netflix Japan last month may fail today. That is why we retest monthly and update every article with current results and dates.
Our full testing process is documented on our Testing Methodology page.
Our Team
Denis Milchevskiy — Founder & Lead Researcher
I personally design and execute every VPN test published on this site. My background is not in corporate cybersecurity marketing — it is in the lived experience of depending on VPNs daily in a region where internet freedom is severely limited. That perspective shapes how I evaluate every service: not as an abstract product, but as a tool that either works when you need it or does not.
Trevor Holbrook — Editor
Trevor reviews every article for factual accuracy, editorial consistency, and clarity before publication. His role ensures that our testing data is presented precisely and that every claim on the site is supported by documented evidence. Trevor also manages our update cycle, flagging articles where test data has aged beyond its validity window.
Our Editorial Standards
Every piece of content on VPN for Streaming follows these principles:
Evidence over opinion. We do not recommend a VPN because it has a recognizable brand or a large advertising budget. We recommend it because it passed our tests. Every review includes specific metrics — speed retention percentages, unblocking success rates, exact server locations that worked — with dates attached.
Transparency about limitations. If a VPN fails a test, we say so. If it works on desktop but not on Fire TV Stick, we document that difference. We do not round up performance to make a recommendation look cleaner.
Regular updates. The VPN-streaming landscape changes constantly. We date every test result, retest monthly, and mark articles with their last verified date. If you see a date older than 60 days on any article, contact us — it means we are behind schedule.
Clear separation of editorial and commercial. This site earns revenue through affiliate partnerships with VPN providers. When you click a link to a VPN service and purchase a subscription, we may receive a commission. This arrangement is described in full in our Affiliate Disclosure below. Our testing methodology, rankings, and recommendations are not influenced by these relationships. A VPN that fails our tests does not appear in our recommendations regardless of whether it offers an affiliate program.
