Top 5 VPNs for Streaming in 2026

Compare five VPNs whose plans list streaming support, apps for major TV platforms and concealed servers. This 2026 ranking orders them by the number of countries offered, while noting the device and network features that can help you choose.

How we ranked these VPNs for streaming

All five providers list streaming services as a supported use, and all five offer Android TV, Fire TV and Apple TV apps alongside concealed servers. The feed does not name Netflix or any other individual service, so those general streaming listings should not be read as a guarantee that a particular catalogue or platform will work. Check the service and region you want to watch before subscribing.

We rank these picks by country count, from 149 down to 65, because broader coverage gives you more listed locations to choose from. We also considered TV apps, concealed servers, protocols and simultaneous-device limits. Those are useful details when you want to connect a television directly, choose a connection option or cover other devices at home. We rank on specs and features rather than lab tests; the order does not represent measured streaming speed.

1. Proton VPN Plus

Proton VPN Plus takes the top spot for the widest country coverage in this group: 149 countries. Its plan lists streaming services and apps for Android TV, Fire TV and Apple TV, so you can install it on a television rather than relying only on a laptop. Concealed servers are included, along with WireGuard, OpenVPN and Proton’s own protocol.

The 10-device limit is enough for a household with a television, phones and a computer, but it is not unlimited. Proton also lists a kill switch, split tunnelling and an independently audited no-logs policy. If you want one account for a wide range of devices, its platform list includes Windows, macOS, Linux, mobile systems and browser extensions.

• Strengths: 149 countries; apps for all three listed TV platforms; concealed servers; three protocol options; 10 simultaneous devices.
• Drawbacks: The device allowance is capped at 10; the streaming listing does not identify Netflix or guarantee access to a specific service.

Choose Proton if country choice is your main priority and you want a TV app plus extra options such as multi-hop, split tunnelling and Tor over VPN.

2. Namecheap FastVPN

Namecheap FastVPN covers 112 countries, the second-highest count in this ranking. It lists streaming support, concealed servers and apps for Android TV, Fire TV and Apple TV. WireGuard, OpenVPN and IKEv2/IPsec are available, and unlimited simultaneous connections make it a practical option if you want to use one account across many household devices.

The plan also lists a kill switch and split tunnelling. Its platform support extends to routers, as well as desktop and mobile systems. Namecheap lists 24/7 support and a 30-day trial, but its country count is below Proton’s. Its listed base is the United States, a detail to consider when comparing providers’ stated locations.

• Strengths: Unlimited simultaneous devices; 112 countries; all three TV apps; concealed servers; WireGuard, OpenVPN and IKEv2/IPsec.
• Drawbacks: Fewer countries than the first-ranked pick; the streaming listing does not specify individual services.

Pick it if you need unlimited connections and want broad TV-platform support without a per-account device cap.

3. Surfshark Starter

Surfshark Starter lists streaming support and apps for Android TV, Fire TV and Apple TV, with concealed servers and coverage in 100 countries. It allows unlimited simultaneous connections, making it a strong fit if you have several televisions or share the account across a busy household. Connection options include WireGuard, OpenVPN, IKEv2/IPsec and Surfshark’s own protocol.

The plan also includes a kill switch, split tunnelling and an independently audited no-logs policy. Surfshark lists RAM-only servers, multi-hop and 24/7 support. The 100-country count puts it below the first two providers here, but the unlimited device allowance and broad platform list may matter more if you connect many screens.

• Strengths: Unlimited devices; 100 countries; all three TV apps; concealed and RAM-only servers; four protocol options.
• Drawbacks: Country coverage is lower than Proton VPN Plus and Namecheap FastVPN; the streaming listing does not confirm access to a named service.

Choose Surfshark if household device count matters more to you than having the largest number of listed countries.

4. X-VPN Premium

X-VPN Premium offers streaming support, concealed servers and apps for Android TV, Fire TV and Apple TV. It lists 80 countries and allows five simultaneous devices, the smallest allowance among these five plans. Its protocol options are WireGuard, OpenVPN and its own protocol. The plan also includes a kill switch and split tunnelling.

X-VPN lists RAM-only servers, an independently audited no-logs policy, 24/7 support and malware protection. Those are useful additional features, but they do not change the smaller country count or device cap. The platform list includes desktop and mobile operating systems, a router app and a Chrome extension, alongside the three TV platforms.

• Strengths: All three TV apps; concealed and RAM-only servers; three protocol options; 24/7 support.
• Drawbacks: Coverage is 80 countries; the simultaneous-device limit is five.

Consider X-VPN if five connections are enough and its listed TV, browser and router support matches the devices you use.

5. PureVPN Standard

PureVPN Standard rounds out the ranking with streaming support, concealed servers and apps for Android TV, Fire TV and Apple TV. It covers 65 countries and allows 10 simultaneous devices. WireGuard, OpenVPN and IKEv2/IPsec are listed, along with a kill switch and split tunnelling. The plan’s platform list also includes routers and browser extensions.

PureVPN lists an independently audited no-logs policy, 24/7 support, malware protection and port forwarding. Its country count is the lowest of the five, so it offers fewer listed locations to choose from than the providers above it. The 10-device limit is more generous than X-VPN’s, though it falls short of the unlimited allowances from Namecheap and Surfshark.

• Strengths: All three TV apps; 10 devices; concealed servers; three protocol options; port forwarding and split tunnelling.
• Drawbacks: Coverage is 65 countries, the lowest in this ranking; no free version or free trial is listed.

Choose PureVPN if its 10-device limit and platform support suit your setup, and you do not need as many country options as the higher-ranked picks offer.

Why AngelVPN and CyberGhost did not make the list

AngelVPN lists streaming support, Android TV and Fire TV apps, but no Apple TV app or concealed servers. CyberGhost lists streaming support and all three TV apps, but no concealed-server feature. Since those features are part of this page’s comparison criteria, neither makes the five-provider ranking.

How to choose a streaming VPN

Start with the screen you plan to use. If you watch through an Apple TV, Android TV or Fire TV device, confirm that the provider lists an app for that platform; all five ranked plans do. If your television setup does not support an app, check whether router support fits your home network. Namecheap, Surfshark, X-VPN and PureVPN list router support, while Proton’s platform list does not.

Next, decide how many devices need a connection at once. Namecheap and Surfshark list unlimited connections; Proton and PureVPN allow 10, and X-VPN allows five. Then compare country coverage: Proton lists 149 countries, while PureVPN lists 65. A larger count means more listed country options, not a promise that every streaming service or catalogue will be available in each one.

Finally, check the details that matter for your setup. WireGuard appears in all five plans, and each also lists concealed servers. Protocol alternatives vary, as do extras such as split tunnelling and kill switches. In 2026, treat a general streaming-support label as a starting point: it does not name Netflix or confirm that a particular service will work from a chosen location. Review the provider’s current compatibility information before you commit.
