My global team tested dozens of VPNs with their local Disney+ accounts and identified a few reliable options....

Last Updated: Aug 7, 2025 AdGuard delivers on its promise of protecting your privacy while browsing the web, but the VPN component isn’t quite up to par. Being in a secure location, having effective security measures in place, and enabling you to access some well-known streaming services on a variety of devices are all nice, but they don’t make up for the high price.
