FAQ on How to Use VPN on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Wii

What is the best VPN for gaming?

VPN Unlimited is the best VPN for console gaming for a number of reasons:

  • It protects your internet traffic and connection with military-grade encryption protocol
  • It offers you a selection of different VPN protocols, some faster, others more secure
  • If provides over 3000 VPN servers in 80+ locations, so you will always find one with the lowest load and ping

How do I play games through VPN?

Once you've connected your PS, Xbox, or Wii to a VPN either via your Mac or home router (see manuals above), every internet connection of your console will automatically go through VPN Unlimited servers. So to play games through VPN, simply launch any game you wish with VPN on.

Is a VPN better for gaming and does VPN help with ping?

The answer to the first part of the question depends on your needs. If you want to protect your connection and data during gaming, and to access geo-restricted content, then using a VPN for Xbox One, Wii, or Playstation VPN is a must.

On the other hand, if you’re concerned about your ping specifically, there’s not much a VPN can help you with. Since PS4 VPN or Xbox VPN makes your data travel via an additional node - secure VPN server - it will always increase your ping a bit. You can, however, ensure that this increase will be minimal by connecting to a server located near your physical location.
