How to stop your ISP from throttling Twitch

Without net neutrality regulation, Internet Service Providers are free to discriminate against Twitch and other streaming services by throttling their bandwidth. When that happens, the Twitch app will start buffering, making you miss what your favourite creators are doing.

Secure end-to-end encryption from Hotspot Shield VPN servers to your device keeps ISPs from throttling Twitch. Since they can’t tell that you’re streaming video, they can’t do anything to your Twitch stream. With a Twitch VPN, you never have to worry about your ISP intentionally slowing down your connection.

How to get Twitch unblocked in seconds

Twitch lets you watch your favourite creators from anywhere in the world. But whoever provides your internet access may block the Twitch live stream. Schools, businesses, and libraries may not want people at their locations streaming video. In other countries, access to Twitch and other streaming services may be blocked entirely.

So what do you do if you need to unblock Twitch at school, work, or from abroad? You need a Twitch VPN. Hotspot Shield VPN lets you watch Twitch unblocked, regardless of where you are in the world. Simply select one of our 3,200+ VPN servers and your connection will be instantly encrypted. This means the network you’re connected to can’t tell if you’re streaming Twitch — and if it doesn’t know, it can’t block you. 

With Hotspot Shield VPN, all it takes is a second to press the “Connect” button and instantly you’ll be able to get Twitch unblocked and enjoy your favourite Twitch live streams.
