Media Streaming Torrenting Support
“3/3.234.jpg” Now let’s find out which VPN Unlimited media streaming services can be unblocked and used. If you plan on using this VPN to stream movies and TV shows through your favorite streaming platforms, take a look at the table below. Netflix US YES Hulu BBC iPlayer YES Amazon Prime Video NO Torrenting (P2P) As with our tests VPN Unlimited can easily unblock Netflix Hulu and BBC iPlayer. This application offers a nice range of streaming optimized servers and there is a ‘ generic ‘ streaming server as well. We recommend setting your VPN Unlimited client to use the ‘ KeepSolid Wise ‘ protocol (TCP or UDP) for website unblocking-as this one seems to be your best bet. Moreover this VPN can help you unblock ESPN+ HBO NOW and Sony Crackle as well. Also, if you have trouble with any of these platforms, make sure to clear your Web browser’s cache to restart your computer, and make sure your router uses the latest version of VPN Unlimited and use the ‘ KeepSolid Wise ‘ protocol. VPN Unlimited offers five P2P-friendly servers located in Canada France Luxembourg Romania and the United States (California) when it comes to torrenting. If you are close to those servers you are in luck. You will most likely encounter slow performance in the event you aren’t.
Privacy Protection When it comes to VPN encryption Unlimited depends on AES-256. You will be pleased to know that this is the most powerful type of commercially available encryption that encodes your information in a highly secure way.

Needless to say, even if someone else gets to it somehow your data is secure. VPN Unlimited supports OpenVPN IKEv2 L2TP and IPSec, in terms of VPN protocols. Of course you won’t be able to use all of these at once-as it depends on your choice platform. It’s also interesting to note that this VPN uses KeepSolid Wise, its own protocol. This stealth technology can be your best bet in heavy-censored countries, as well as in countries where VPNs are blocked or banned.
