Why Do You Need a VPN for Xbox One, PS and Wii Consoles?
It’s best to use VPN for console gaming for a number of reasons:
Access stores from different regions
This allows you to use regional to your advantage and buy games at better prices, or access locally unavailable content, such as region-exclusive MMOs and DLCs.
Enjoy high-speed gaming
VPN masks your IP address on Xbox, PlayStation, and Wii, hiding you from third parties. This includes your ISP, who are often not above throttling users’ connection.
Make your console DDoS-protected
Crucial during tournaments and other important matches, VPN Unlimited will secure your game console from internet connection spamming in a distributed denial-of-service attack.

- Enable Internet Sharing itself

If you have a router, you can easily setup VPN on it. This will encrypt your internet traffic and enable you to freely surf the web from any device connected to your router.
Here’s how to setup VPN on your router (see our detailed manuals if you have any questions):
