crunchyroll vpn

Crunchyroll, the premiere anime streaming platform on the web, offers anything a weeb needs to thrive: anime, drama, simulcasts – the works. But you need a Crunchyroll VPN to watch it privately and safely. What if your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or network admin limits your bandwidth while you’re trying to keep up with the adventures of you’re waifu? What if a school/workplace firewall blocks Crunchyroll? Then you need a VPN.

How to stream Crunchyroll with a VPN

  1. Get yourself a premium VPN. Free VPNs don’t have many servers or unblocked IPs.
  2. Connect to a local server. VPN servers in your own country give the best speed.
  3. Watch anime. Technically not a necessary point, but it’s probably what you’ll do.

Why stream Crunchyroll with a VPN?

You need a VPN to stream Crunchyroll (or do anything else on the internet) because you care about privacy, speed, and accessibility.

Privacy
Speed
Accessibility
When you browse online, you leave an IP address trace like DBZ fights leave perfectly round holes in the scenery. By getting a new IP, you’ll make it much harder for third parties — like advertisers on Crunchyroll — to collect and track your data.
If your country has not made bandwidth throttling illegal, your internet service provider can slow down your connection if they detect online gaming, streaming, or large downloads. This may negatively impact your plans to binge all 1057 episodes of One Piece.
So you’ve decided to watch anime at school, dorm, capsule hotel, or work. But the local admins have blocked Crunchyroll to keep your mind away from Universal Century 0079. A VPN can overcome those blocks!

Other benefits of getting a VPN for Crunchyroll

Anime isn’t the only thing that a VPN is good for! There are many other benefits that appear when you start using a virtual private network – and without any additional effort.

Enjoy unlimited devices
Hide your weakness
Unlike most other VPNs, a Surfshark VPN account comes with an unlimited amount of installs allowed. Hook up your entire family/anime club with the best Crunchyroll experience.
Your ISP knows your deviant online activities. Hide your Crunchyroll addiction from the government’s prying eyes by encrypting your traffic with a VPN.
Stay safe on Wi-Fi
Catch ‘em 3200 all
If you go to anime con or cosplay events, you’ll probably use public Wi-Fi at some point. Guess what, criminals love those harder than Gendo Ikari loves neglecting his son. Protect your data (including Crunchyroll login information) with Surfshark.
Surfshark has servers in over 100 countries — chances are, you can connect to the ones in your homeland! Light Igami could find Japanese servers as well as dedicated servers in Tokyo with a static IP. Meanwhile, Bandit Keith would be delighted to know we have servers in 25 American cities.

Crunchyroll and Surfshark: a match made in Akihabara

Wherever you are, anime is in your heart. And with a VPN, you feed your Crunchyroll addiction no matter the local network conditions. More than that, a VPN is useful even outside of streaming anime. Try Surfshark, and this boring 3D world will seem nothing more than a dream!

Let’s stream some anime!
