Why Use a VPN for Overwatch
Protect Your IRL Identity
Revealing your IP online can lead to doxing and other offline headaches. Windscribe masks your IP and replaces it with one of our own, so your IRL identity stays hidden.
Prevent DDoS Attacks
Windscribe protects you from DDoS attacks and other online threats with AES-256 encryption that turns your data packets into undecodable gibberish.
Access Region-Locked Content
Want to connect through different locations to play with friends in other countries? Good thing Windscribe has servers in all major Overwatch regions.
Reduce Ping & Lag
Poor routing can introduce unnecessary delay. Windscribe finds smarter paths between you and Blizzard’s servers to keep your connection more stable during fast-paced fights.
Stop ISP Throttling
If your ISP can't see what you're doing online, they can't slow it down. Windscribe hides your online activity to prevent ISP throttling and keep your connection stable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Overwatch allow VPNs?
Yep, Overwatch is cool with you using a VPN. A lot of players use VPNs for security, to dodge DDoS attacks, or to reduce lag. However, using it to cheat, manipulate, or exploit the game in any way goes against Blizzard's End User Licence Agreement.
What is the best free VPN for Overwatch?
Well, we don’t know about free (although we do have a free plan with up to 10GB per month), but Windscribe’s pretty great for gaming. We’ve got a strict no-logs policy (which means we don’t log anything that can be tied back to your identity behind the screen), servers in 69+ countries, our pal R.O.B.E.R.T. (he blocks ads, trackers, and malicious content), and more. So, whatever it is that you’re looking for a VPN for, we’ve got you covered, boo!
What if Overwatch doesn’t work with my VPN?
If your Overwatch isn’t working with Windscribe, try these steps:
- Switch server locations
- Change your protocol
- Try another device or network

Does Blizzard ban VPNs?
Nope, it doesn't. If you're using a VPN for privacy reasons (like to mask your IP, protect yourself against attacks, and so on) or to improve lag, you're generally fine. However, if you're using it to cheat, manipulate, or exploit any Blizzard games – Overwatch included – it might get your account banned.
Is using a VPN for gaming legal?
In most places, using a VPN for gaming is totally legal. Most players use it for privacy, to protect themselves from online threats, or to improve lag. However, keep in mind that using a VPN to hide illegal activities doesn’t make those activities legal. So, in other words, a VPN won’t save you from going to jail if you’re caught doing something shady with it!
