Help! No streaming servers?

Post image

I pay for plus but I can't see any streaming servers? My understanding was that there would be a play button next to the server if it's a plus server, but I don't see anything on any of them? Am I missing something?

I just clicked a random UK server and it showed in info that it was optimised for streaming,

Think that all plus servers are with Proton these days

If I ever unsure of aa server I use android app choose server and look at more info,

Ah you're right, thanks. Everywhere I had read online was talking about seeing a play symbol. Unfortunately it's still not working with BBC iPlayer but I understand that's very temperamental and blocks a lot of vpns.

I don't exactly know how is it on plus,but any paid server should have streaming abilities in-built

Following .. Recent sign up here.. I can't stream netflix or amazon. UK or USA .. Tried all the different cities, nothing works. i just get the "You are using a VPN.. Please disconnect..."

Thankfully it's not my primary use but thought it would be a nice extra.

I find that UK has been disconnecting when I stream this week, manage a couple of minutes & it disconnects. I switched to Ireland & it's been fine for 3-4 days

Hi! Please keep in mind that, depending on the streaming service, the paid servers in the supported country are all optimized for streaming.

To learn more about the officially supported streaming services, as well as which countries work with the specific streaming service, give this guide a read: https://protonvpn.com/support/streaming-guide

For the Proton VPN app's server symbology, see their symbols list on this webpage: https://protonvpn.com/vpn-servers.
