How to watch Russian TV online
Watching Russian TV online with ExpressVPN is easy. Here’s how:
Step 1: Get ExpressVPN
ExpressVPN provides a secure tunnel between your device and the internet that protects your online traffic from prying eyes. Using a VPN for Russia when going online also helps you to shield your personal IP address, and allows you to connect to servers in other countries so that your device appears to be in a different location.
Sign up for ExpressVPN and download the app for the streaming devices you want to watch Russian TV on.
Step 2: Download the VPN app
Download the latest ExpressVPN app for the device(s) you want to stream Russian content on. ExpressVPN has apps for all major devices, including smart TVs like the Samsung Smart TV and streaming devices like Apple TV, Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku.
Step 3: Choose a server location
Open the ExpressVPN app and connect to one of thousands of high-speed, secure VPN servers across 105 countries.
Step 4: Stream to your heart’s content
That’s it! You’re now ready to securely stream all your favorite Russian content in HD from anywhere.
How a VPN works with Russian TV
Streaming services around the world can sometimes restrict access to content based on your IP address, a unique identifier that also shows your approximate location in the world. That means that if you want to watch Russian TV shows online, you will need an IP address in any region where Russian content is available for streaming.
ExpressVPN is the fastest, safest, and most reliable way to watch Russian TV online. With an encrypted connection, your internet service provider and other network operators won’t be able to block or slow down certain kinds of online activity—like streaming.
Free proxies, on the other hand, are far less reliable than a paid VPN for keeping you connected to your entertainment. And the best part? You'll be connected and streaming in under five minutes.
Secure access on any network
If your ISP throttles certain kinds of content, or your school, office, or public Wi-Fi network blocks streaming to preserve bandwidth or reduce distractions, you need a VPN. And if you simply want to enjoy all the privacy and security protections of a premium VPN without it interfering with your streaming, you’ll need a provider with optimized server locations offering fast, smooth, error-free connections. That’s ExpressVPN.
