Unblock Discovery Plus With a VPN

Yes, Discovery Plus works with quality VPN services like Windscribe. However, Discovery Plus actively tries to detect and block VPN traffic, so you need a VPN that stays ahead of their detection methods. Free VPNs typically get blocked faster than a rejected antique appraisal.

If Discovery+ is throwing a proxy or region error, start by switching Windscribe servers, then clear your browser cache and cookies if you’re streaming on desktop (Discovery+ loves hanging onto old location crumbs). For the best chance of getting through stubborn streaming blocks, use the full Windscribe desktop app and pair it with the Windscribe browser extension for Chrome, Edge or Firefox and make sure Windscribe is fully up to date. Still stuck? Our support team has your back 24/7.

Windscribe consistently works with Discovery Plus because we maintain a dedicated streaming infrastructure and regularly update our server network. We're like the archaeological team that keeps digging until we find what works, except instead of ancient artifacts, we're uncovering ways to access your favorite documentaries.

Using a VPN is legal in most countries, but it may violate Discovery Plus's terms of service. We don't encourage bypassing legitimate geographic restrictions. VPNs are primarily tools for privacy and security.

Discovery Plus actively blocks many VPNs, so if you’re seeing error messages or missing content, it’s usually because the service has flagged your VPN’s IP address. Some providers don’t refresh their servers often, which makes them easy to detect. Windscribe regularly updates its network and uses obfuscation technology to disguise VPN traffic, giving you a much better chance of streaming Discovery Plus without interruptions.

Windscribe's optimized servers typically add minimal latency to your connection. Our WireGuard protocol is designed for streaming performance, often adding less than 10% speed reduction. You might not even notice the difference while watching, unless you're comparing frame-by-frame like a forensic video analyst.

The US typically has the most comprehensive Discovery Plus library, including exclusive series and early releases. The UK offers unique BBC content integration, while other European markets sometimes have exclusive regional programming. Content libraries change frequently, so what's available varies by region and licensing agreements.

A VPN can help you access Discovery Plus content while traveling, but this may violate the platform's terms of service. VPNs are primarily designed for privacy and security, not for bypassing content restrictions. Always review the terms of service for any streaming platform you use.

Discovery Plus can suspend accounts for violating their terms of service, which includes using tools to bypass geographic restrictions. While account suspension isn't common, it's a risk to consider. Using a VPN primarily for privacy and security rather than content access reduces this risk.

This message means Discovery Plus is checking your location and restricting access. To fix it, connect to a Windscribe server in the U.S. (or another supported region), then clear your cookies and cache to reset location data. If it still shows up, try switching servers or protocols like WireGuard for a fresh connection.
