More choice for UK streamers
Private Internet Access has quietly rolled out 22 new streaming-optimised server locations, pushing the total from 13 to 35. The extra spots cover Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East, so whether you’re chasing the latest Netflix drop or a regional sports feed, there’s now a dedicated option closer to home.
Nothing needs doing on your end. The new locations pop up automatically in the app — just search “streaming” in the location list and you’re good to go.

Why it matters for viewers
Standard VPN servers can sometimes unblock content, but the streaming-optimised ones are actively monitored and tested against major platforms. That means fewer buffering headaches and more reliable access when you’re abroad or dodging geo-blocks.
