Could VPNs Help Streaming In India?

Arguably, internet freedoms in India are not as liberal as they are in most other parts of the world. The government blocks and restricts internet use in some regions, and not only is downloading copyrighted material illegal, but legislation is strict and it means that pirating can also see you ending up in prison.
 
The government does not currently view streaming and viewing blocked sites as being as serious an issue as downloading, but most rather be able to steer clear of any potential trouble with the law by viewing everything safely. The answer for them is to use VPNs, as they allow users to view or stream without being detected.

 
What to look for in a VPN
 
There are many desirable attributes you should check out before selecting the VPN you want to use. For most people the priority is security. After all, maintaining our anonymity and privacy is the main reason most people use a VPN. However, once we are satisfied the VPN is secure, we want it to be as quick as possible. A sluggish connection can be annoying, and choosing a VPN with stable, consistent and good speed will save you a lot of frustration.
 
Some of the desired attributes will vary depending on what you intend to use your connection for, but good customer service is desirable across the board. 24/7 chat or e-mail support will ensure you can get help no matter what time of the day it is. Ease of use is another important factor. Having to become a tech expert to get your VPN to work well can be off-putting. It should also work well on all the popular platforms, so you can switch from different devices with relative ease. 
 
IP services in India
 
As well as having several servers in India, ExpressVPN also has them in nearly all the countries surrounding it. Its speeds are better than most and it has features for most major platforms. It is a VPN that is very aware of security and has several layers built in. It also has an affiliate program that lets you earn money by using this service. ExpressVPN is a good choice according to VPNbase, which ranks the best VPNs in India
 
TigerVPN has servers in three different cities and is easy to use on all the popular operating platforms. Its customer support is instantly available through live chat, emails, a ticketing system or native apps. It does not have as many advanced features as some of the VPNs, but all the basic settings are there. You can try TigerVPN for free for 3 days.
  
SaferVPN has no servers in India and provides good speeds. It does save more information than other VPNs, which might be too much for some viewers, depending on how concerned they are about privacy. SaferVPN is very easy to use and has round-the-clock live chat and email support.
 
IPVanish has six servers in New Delhi that have great download speeds. If you have a problem, their 24-hour support team will be there to help you, and the only downside is that IPVanish is not the cheapest option, and does not offer a free trial. They do have a 7-day no quibble money back guarantee.
 
Overall, these options all offer a good service, but they do offer different features and you just need to look at them all to find which is the best for you.
