Why you need a VPN for Hotstar

Hotstar is one of India’s most popular streaming services, but depending on where you live, you may not have access. For instance, if you live in the USA, Hotstar will not be available without restrictions. To unblock Hotstar, a trusted Hotstar VPN will provide you with an India (via Singapore) IP address, thus allowing you to stream Hotstar as if you were located in India.

How to stop your ISP from throttling Hotstar

It’s not uncommon for Internet Service Providers to throttle (slow down) traffic to certain streaming services, including Hotstar. This can make streaming content almost impossible, despite paying good money for that internet service. 

Fortunately, a Hotstar VPN can help. By routing your internet traffic through Hotspot Shield’s secure VPN servers, your data is encrypted so your ISP can’t see what sites you’re visiting. This means Hotstar will never be throttled and your content will load faster with no buffering or lag.

How to watch Hotstar in the USA

For many people living in the USA, Hotstar is not available. While you can purchase a Hotstar USA subscription to enable you to watch select content, most people in America prefer to watch unrestricted Hotstar like they’d do back home in India. For this, you need a Hotstar VPN with an India (via Singapore) VPN server location. This enables you to assign an India (via Singapore) IP address to your device. 

To access Hotstar in the USA, download the Hotspot Shield VPN app and press “connect.” Now select the “India (via Singapore)” VPN server location. With Hotspot Shield connected, sign in to your Hotstar account. You’ll now see that you can access Hotstar restriction free. Hotspot Shield is the best VPN for Hotstar USA streaming.

Watch live cricket on Hotstar

Hotstar is a great way to watch live cricket streaming online. Regardless of where you live, Hotspot Shield is the perfect Hotstar VPN to ensure you never miss an inning. 

If you’re a Hotstar USA user and find that access to live cricket is restricted, use Hotspot Shield to connect to our India (via Singapore) VPN server location. This provides your device with an India (via Singapore)  IP address, which in turn will unblock Hotstar and provide unrestricted access to live cricket streaming from anywhere.
