Does Hotspot Shield work with Sling TV?
Hotspot Shield is the ideal Sling VPN. Our Hydra protocol delivers the seamless streaming experience you want. And our secure VPN connections provide the privacy and security you need.
Streaming Sling TV is becoming increasingly popular, but sometimes that stream can be blocked on restricted Wi-Fi networks or when traveling abroad? Download the best Sling VPN and enjoy blazing-fast streams with no buffering.
Sling TV has many of the most popular cable channels from ESPN to HGTV. For many people, Sling is the perfect way to get “cable” at a fraction of the price. Unfortunately, Sling cuts you off when you leave the United States. You need a Sling VPN that can restore your access while delivering seamless streaming.
By connecting to a VPN, and selecting a server in a specific country, you’ll be granted an IP address from that country. This means that when you visit a streaming service like Sling it will appear as if you’re located somewhere you’re not. Say you’re in Germany on vacation and connect to a VPN server in the US, it will appear as if you’re located in the US and Sling TV will now be available.

Internet Service Providers have the ability to play tricks with streaming services. When they detect video streams from a company like Sling TV, the ISPs can slow down the connection. This produces choppy video and buffering that could keep you from streaming Sling TV.
With a secure Hotspot Shield VPN connection, we mask your video streams from the ISP. We fully encrypt Sling’s data as it reaches our VPN server before sending it on to your device. Unable to see the stream, the ISPs systems can’t throttle Sling TV.
The deals Sling TV makes to stream content from BBC America and other cable channels only apply to people in the United States. Anybody outside the US gets blocked — including Sling’s paying customers.
Restoring your access with Hotspot Shield is simple. Once you select the United States from our list of VPN servers, we route your traffic from your location via our US servers. This gives you a US IP address. Sling will then think you’re back home in the US, even though you’re not, and let you stream all the Sling TV you want.
With so many different VPN providers out there, you might be surprised to learn that they all run the same software. That’s why they all have the same issues with streaming. Hotspot Shield set out to become the fastest VPN on the market by taking a different path. We developed our proprietary Hydra protocol specifically to deliver blazing-fast download speeds and streaming performance. When the analysts at AV-TEST evaluated the top VPN providers, they called Hotspot Shield’s performance “second-to-none.” Ookla’s renowned Speedtest.net named Hotspot Shield the “world’s fastest VPN.”
