— Articles in partnership with Surfshark VPN —
A few years ago I showed you how the combination works Surfshark VPN and Netflix worked and what options were there between the two services. Since then, another service in the same genre has grown significantly: Amazon Prime Video. I know that some of you use it, and so this is an opportunity to take the opportunity to briefly remind you of this topic.
Like its competitor, you probably know that Amazon Prime Video doesn’t offer the same content depending on the country you live in. So when you go abroad (work, vacation, etc.), you are not sure if you can watch your favorite series there. It’s even less fun to stand with your toes out on the beach without being able to watch your favorite episodes because they aren’t available locally in French. I can’t imagine the sense of loss that would come over me when I realized that the episodes of Stargate in VF are only available in English. Enough to ruin my future vacation on a paradise island at the end of my garden.
Above all, the VPN is a solution to prevent Amazon from collecting all your personal data when streaming its videos. By encrypting your data (using the AES-256 algorithm), Surfshark makes it unusable for both the platform and any other websites you visit. It will no longer receive information about where you are actually connecting from, no longer have access to your browser’s cookies, etc. And will no longer be able to bombard you with ads (the VPN also acts as an ad blocker).
Especially since Prime Video announced this last year the arrival of advertising on his service would take place during 2024 (a priori around mid-year in France). “In small doses,” they say, but we know how it will turn out. Probably full of junk food shops and with an additional subscription of a few euros for a clean experience. Surfshark VPN costs the same price but offers the added benefit of maintaining your privacy. The calculation is quick and there is always a few euros in savings (in addition to what you can make). on your tickets, hotelsetc.)
And with its large server base (3,200+ spread across 100+ countries), currently fully ramping up from 1 to 10 Gbps, Surfshark is designed for stable streaming without significant slowdowns. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also pair it with Wireguard, OpenVPN, or IPsec/IKEv2 protocols.
Fixed IP address or rotary knob, kill switch button, dynamic MultiHop, stealth mode, private DNS, split tunneling, GPS spoofing for Android… All these features that I have introduced in my previous articles are always available to you. As well as the assurance that Your data is not collected by Surfshark (which has been confirmed by several audits in recent months: Deloitte, Mobile App Security Assessment, etc.).
As for the small new features at the beginning of 2024, you should know that Surfshark has just been integrated his tool for creating alternative identities in all its packs. Even the smallest subscription offers you this functionality that was previously reserved for Surfshark One. A little extra bonus!
Now you know the benefits of using a VPN with Amazon Prime Video. But it works with any of your favorite streaming services, from Disney+ and Hulu to Netflix and Apple TV.
In addition, if you’re finally thinking about making your web surfing a little more secure, don’t forget that the service allows you to connect any number of devices (desktop, mobile, console, router, Amazon Fire Stick, etc.). ) and use them at the same time. The price includes your machines, but also those of your family etc. Regardless of what operating system each of them uses. For less than €3/month!
