🔧 Digital Tip
For better streaming security and access, configure your VPN to use servers dedicated to streaming services rather than general-purpose ones. Some VPN providers label servers optimized for specific platforms (like ESPN+ or Netflix UK). These can offer more stable speeds and fewer playback errors while still protecting your connection from snooping or local network threats.
