A common method of consuming entertainment content is now streaming. Streaming services put an enormous library of entertainment at fingertips, whether it be TV series, films, or live sporting events. However, access to some content can frequently be restricted due to location limitations. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) can help in this situation. The growing desire for material with global access restrictions has been one of the main factors driving VPN use in recent years. For instance, depending on the user's location, video streaming services like Netflix or YouTube only make some videos available in specific countries. With the help of VPNs, users can get around restrictions and see stuff that they otherwise wouldn't be able to. Actually, it's the main reason non-workers utilise VPNs. Due to licencing agreements and content distribution rights, streaming platforms frequently impose geographical limits. This means that some series or films may be available only in particular countries. As a result, users in other locations may be deprived of their preferred content. A VPN might be a game changer in this situation.

Accessing social networks (34%), browsing anonymously (31%), and accessing files and services while working (30%) are some of the other reasons for using a VPN. Almost half of all home VPN users utilise a free service. The penalty for free service is frequently a lack of functionality: more than 60% of free VPN customers experience connection issues, the most prevalent of which are sluggish internet speed (39%), many or buggy advertisements (13%), and streaming troubles (12%).

Regional web content is not always accessible from everywhere. Services and websites frequently contain content that can only be accessible from specific parts of the world. Standard connections use local servers in the country to determine location. This means users can't access content from home while travelling and can't access overseas content from home. With VPN location spoofing, users can connect to a server in another country and effectively "change" location. VPN usage varies by consumer demographic. The 16-24 age group accounts for 35% of all VPN users. The 25-34 age group accounts for 33% of all users. Only 4% of VPN users are Boomers or those aged 55 and up.
