Thanks to VPNs, it’s getting easier than ever to safely stream your favorite TV series, movies and other programs from anywhere around the world.
What is a VPN? Think of it as a digital cloak that allows you to stream everything from must-watch TV shows to movies and sporting events, whenever and wherever you want.
Traveling abroad? VPNs will keep you connected while you’re away. But they’re not just for streaming your favorite programs internationally and accessing websites that may be inaccessible from outside of the U.S. You can use a VPNs at home, or at work, to keep your personal information secure as most VPNs offer private streaming and malware protection to keep your devices safe from viruses, hackers, phishing and other digital scams.
To get technical, a VPN, or “virtual private network,” encrypts your connection to hide your IP address, which allows you to stream from just about anywhere around the world. Although some platforms restrict VPN use, you can access VPNs on certain streaming platforms such as DirecTV, Peacock, Philo and Max.
Trending on Billboard
Most VPN services have monthly and annual plans, but if you’re not so familiar with the process, you might not want to lock yourself into an extended plan just yet. It’s better to start with a monthly package, or free trial where available (some VPNs offer a 30-day, money-back guarantee.)
To help you get started, we’ve collected a list of the five best VPNs for streaming, web surfing, gaming and more that are compatible with iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, FireTV, Chrome, Firefox and other platforms.
See below for a short rundown of plans, pricing and other details you need to know.
NordVPN
NordVPN is a favorite of ours, due to its convenience, ease of use and speed. It works on multiple streaming platforms, allowing you to stay connected to your favorite programs, no matter how far you travel. It’s incredibly user-friendly, with easy access on up to 10 devices.
$3.69/month $8.29/month 55% off nordvpn
NordVPN has a strong connection to multiple servers in 111 countries around the world, but you’ll receive a notification to choose a new server if the current one is going offline or unavailable. Other features include malware protection, Data Breach Scanners, along with ad-blocking and tracking, which stops sites from tracking your online activity.
And right now, you can join for up to 71% off, plus three months free.
ExpressVPN
With servers in more than 150 countries, the ability to connect on up to eight devices simultaneously and a 30-day, money-back guarantee, ExpressVPN is one of the Web’s most popular VPN services (just Google “VPNs” and see what pops up first).
ExpressVPN offers one of the best options for international streaming at rapid speed (there’s a reason why it’s called “express” VPN) along with encrypted files, safe browsing and added protection to keep your personal information secure. You can join ExpressVPN for $6.67/month (49% off) for the first three months.
Surfshark
For a budget option, consider Surfshark. It’s a decent, budget VPN, according to TikTok reviews.
$2.19/month with 2-year plan $15.45/month 86% off surfshark
The VPN protects your personal info: search history, passwords and IP address. And you won’t have to worry about pop-ups, cookies and ads. There’s also antivirus protection that blocks access to your device’s camera.
Private Internet Access
Billed as the most “transparent” VPN option among its competitors, Private Internet Access offers fast streaming, advanced split tunneling that lets you customize settings for different apps and websites, and a “Kill Switch” to keep your data safe from leaks if the connection drops.
$2.19/month with 2-year plan $11.99/month 82% off pia vpn
Like many of the other choices on the list, PIA has ad-blocking, 24/7 customer assistance and monthly, annual and three-year plans, the latter being the cheapest at $2.19 for three years and three months. Monthly plans cost $11.99 and the year plan is $3.33/month (billed annually).
More Budget VPNs
Other budget VPN options include CyberGhost ($2.19 per month) and PureVPN for $3.46/month (regularly $19.95). There’s also Pure VPN, which features a comprehensive, user-friendly dashboard, “cutting-edge encryption” for secure and private browsing, and a social media checker that scans your privacy settings.
Reviews are mixed on PureVPN, as multiple Reddit users noted slower speeds and lagging. Keeping that in mind, PureVPN offers monthly plans for $19.95, or $4.96 for the annual plan. The Max plan is $3.46/month (reg. $19.95) for a two-year subscription, plus 83% off for four months.

The final round of tickets to Adele’s Las Vegas residency sold out at Ticketmaster last year, but fans can find plenty of resale tickets on Vivid Seats, StubHub and SeatGeek.
How much do Adele tickets cost? Right now, tickets are in high demand, which means prices are skyrocketing. Most of the tickets for May and June range from approximately $570-$770, and up to $3,000 for the most expensive tickets.
If you want to see Adele perform over Memorial Day weekend, tickets are approximately $600 and up at StubHub and Vivid Seats, and prices are likely to get higher as the holiday weekend approaches. (Want a discount on tickets? Use code BB2024 to save $20 off $200 or more at Vivid Seats.)

Adele’s Germany shows will take place between Aug. 2 and Aug. 31. Resale tickets are available on StubHub and Vivid Seats for around $100 to $150 for the cheapest tickets, but most of the seats are priced closer to the $300-$500 range, and over $1,000 for some shows.
The “Hello” singer will travel overseas for a round of summer shows at the Open Air Arena in Munich, Germany, Adele announced in January.
“So a few months ago I got a call about a summer run of shows,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “I’ve been content as anything with my shows in London’s Hyde Park and my residency in Vegas, so I hadn’t had any other plans. However, I was too curious not to follow up and indulge in the idea – a one off, bespoke pop-up stadium designed around whatever show I want to put on?”

Challengers scored an early streaming release on May 17, arriving on VOD just under a month after debuting in theaters. The sports drama centers around a former tennis star who returns to the sport with help from his wife, also a former tennis player, and faces off against his former best friend/wife’s ex-boyfriend.

“I think it’s not quite a tennis film,” Zendaya shared with Sports Illustrated when asked to categorize the film. “It’s not quite a sports film, but it has tennis in it. I wouldn’t say a romantic comedy, although there is romance and it’s funny. I wouldn’t say that it’s entirely a drama, but there are dramatic moments. So I think that’s the beauty of it — it really can’t be defined or categorized as any one thing. Just as I think the characters can’t be defined or categorized. It’s all just a complicated, beautiful mess.”
