How to stream Channel 5 online with a VPN

Yes! Connecting to an ExpressVPN server in the United Kingdom will give you a secure, private, and encrypted connection. Our VPN servers are optimized to give you fast, throttle-free access, so you’ll never have to sacrifice privacy, security, or video quality while watching My5.

No. If you want to stream My5 content, you’ll need to sign up for a free My5 account on your own. ExpressVPN merely complements My5 by ensuring you can stream securely from anywhere, even on public Wi-Fi, and without content-based throttling by your internet service provider or network administrator.

Though any VPN could theoretically cause a reduction in streaming speeds, ExpressVPN consistently ranks as one of the fastest VPN services, so you probably won’t notice any difference. Our servers are constantly optimized for speed, and Lightway, our next-generation VPN protocol, is engineered for blazing-fast data transfer.

Another benefit of using ExpressVPN is that it circumvents throttling based on content. If your internet provider or Wi-Fi administrator is deliberately slowing down certain kinds of traffic, like streaming services, connecting to an encrypted ExpressVPN server can actually result in an increase in speeds and an improved streaming experience.

You won’t be able to find a free VPN for streaming My5 content that offers ExpressVPN’s reliability, speed, privacy features, and customer support. Many free VPNs won’t work as advertised and may even sell your data or leave your networks vulnerable to attack.
