Why Use a VPN for CTV

Unblock CTV on Any Network

Office, campus, or hotel Wi-Fi blocking streaming sites? Windscribe routes your CTV traffic through an encrypted tunnel, so it’s more likely to load.

Hide Your IP Address

Windscribe swaps your real IP for a Canadian one, making it harder for sites and advertisers to find out where you’re actually connecting from.

Encrypt Your Connection

We use strong AES-256 encryption to protect all your traffic, so CTV, browsing, and logins share the same secure tunnel.

Encrypt Your Connection

Stream Safely on Public Wi-Fi

Frequently Asked Questions About CTV VPN

Does CTV Work With a VPN?

openclose

Most of the time, yeah. CTV can work fine with a VPN as long as you are connected to a solid Canadian server. Sometimes, certain IP ranges get grumpy and throw region errors. If that happens, just swap to another Canadian location in Windscribe, refresh the page or app, and try again.

What if CTV Doesn’t Work With a VPN?

openclose

If CTV isn’t working with Windscribe, there are a few quick fixes you can try. Start by switching to a server closer to your location for better speeds. If you’ve been jumping between servers, clear your CTV cache to avoid conflicts. Give our Chrome, Edge or Firefox extension a shot to access CTV directly in your browser. You can also try accessing CTV on another device or double-check that your Windscribe app is up to date. Still stuck? Our support team is here 24/7 to help you out!

What Is the Best VPN for CTV?

openclose

For CTV, you want fast Canadian servers, stable apps on your devices, and a VPN that does not keep identifying logs. Bonus points for an easy interface and a built-in kill switch (our Firewall). Windscribe hits those points, with multiple Canadian locations (like Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, Vancouver and Calgary) and has apps for desktop, mobile, and more, so it is a strong pick for CTV.

Is Using a VPN With CTV Legal?

openclose

In most places, including Canada, using a VPN with CTV is totally legal because VPNs are just privacy tools. What you still have to follow are CTV’s terms of service and your local laws. A VPN does not magically rewrite licensing rules or regulations. If you are worried about the legal side where you live, it is worth double-checking locally.

How Do I Use a VPN to Watch Canadian TV?

openclose

It is pretty simple: install Windscribe, log in, and connect to a Canadian server. Once you have a Canadian IP, open CTV or any other Canadian TV app or site and sign in like usual. From your point of view, you just hit play. From their point of view, you’re watching from Canada!

How Do I Watch CTV Without a TV Provider?

openclose

CTV lets you watch a bunch of shows and channels for free in Canada, but some content still needs a TV provider login. You can grab a free CTV account and watch the stuff marked as “free” or “no sign-in required.” For anything locked behind a provider wall, you will still need valid login details from a participating TV provider.

Watch Canadian TV on Demand

Catch Canadian news, shows, and live events wherever you are. With Windscribe’s Canadian servers, you can keep CTV in your streaming lineup at home or abroad.
