Last Updated: Aug 3, 2025 After sufficient testing, I found that DotVPN was able to deliver in some areas while missing the mark in others. I was impressed with its connection speeds, user-friendly apps on Android and iOS, and encryption standard. Unfortunately, my experience streaming with DotVPN was poor, its privacy policy wasn’t quite air-tight, and it lacks native apps for Windows and macOS. For those looking to try this service out personally, it does offer a fair money-back guarantee for 45 days, which is quite generous compared to many other VPNs.
Don’t Have Time? Here’s a 1-Minute Summary
During my tests, I found that DotVPN couldn’t unblock most streaming platforms that I tested. I was only able to use it to access Netflix and HBO Max. This VPN isn’t quite geared toward unblocking content, but I still would have liked to see better performance in this category. Many top VPNs can access catalogs like US Netflix while delivering features beyond what DotVPN can offer.
Netflix and HBO Max: Unblocked
I was able to unblock my US Netflix account on my first attempt with the New York US server. Just as I would without a VPN, I streamed in HD and did not experience noticeable lags.
It was also easy to access my HBO Max library. I streamed in perfect quality but still experienced intermittent buffering. This was disappointing, especially since my speeds seemed stable with DotVPN, but this happened regardless of my server choice.
DotVPN wasn’t able to secure access to every streaming service that I tested. When I tried to access my Disney+ account with the DotVPN US server, it wasn’t able to bring me to the Disney+ homepage. Hulu simply wouldn’t let me log in as it was able to detect that I was using a VPN. The error message requested that I disengage from the proxy service if I wanted to access my account. My colleagues in the UK encountered a similar experience as they were not able to access most streaming platforms like BBC iPlayer which are popular in the UK.
