How to watch Discovery+ with a VPN

Yes! ExpressVPN’s blazing-fast servers provide private and secure access to Discovery+ streaming. If you encounter errors or have questions about using ExpressVPN, just contact Support, available 24/7 via live chat or email, to start streaming again.

Discovery+ is available in the U.S., the UK, Denmark, Finland, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Spain, and Poland. Over time, the service will roll out to more countries.

No, you still need to sign up for a Discovery+ subscription. ExpressVPN does not come with Discovery+. Rather, it complements your streaming service to allow you to watch all the content you want, free from throttling or blocking by your ISP or by your school, office, or public Wi-Fi network.

Discovery+ is available on a wide range of devices, including:

• Smartphones and tablets, including iOS and Android

• Computers, including Mac, Windows, and Linux

• Smart TVs and TV box systems, including Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV Stick, and Roku

ExpressVPN has easy-to-use apps for many of these devices and covers five devices simultaneously. But even if your device cannot install ExpressVPN directly, you can still enjoy full VPN benefits by connecting it to a router running ExpressVPN.

Some smart TVs and streaming consoles that offer the Discovery+ app can also install the ExpressVPN app, which allows you to use both simultaneously without any extra equipment. If you can access Discovery+ on your computer or mobile device, you may also be able to cast or mirror to smart TVs or streaming consoles that are designed to receive such signals. And any device that connects to the internet—including smart TVs and streaming devices that cannot install any VPN app—can receive full VPN benefits by connecting to a router running the ExpressVPN app for routers.

For advice on your particular situation, please contact Support.

Using a free proxy to watch Discovery+ is not recommended. Free proxy services are often slow and unsecured. Paid VPNs, on the other hand, provide security and privacy, while giving you fast, seamless streaming.

All VPNs can potentially slow down your internet connection. But ExpressVPN consistently ranks as one of the fastest VPNs around, so you probably won’t notice a difference.

If your ISP has been known to throttle streaming services, using ExpressVPN while streaming Discovery+ may actually speed up your connection.

ExpressVPN also helps you bypass censorship in certain countries that block access to sites like YouTube, Twitter, and Google. You can also privately and securely browse the web. It works with other streaming services, too, like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, and HBO Max/Go.
