This is How You can Configure VPN on Your Brand New PS5  

The PlayStation 5, which was released in November 2020, has captivated video game fans worldwide. Despite the lack of a built-in web browser, this PlayStation allows you to access the Internet. And we recommend using a VPN to take advantage of certain features of your PS5 as well as some suitable online games. Using this helpful program, you may get around geo-restrictions imposed by some services, such as streaming platforms. Here’s how you can configure a VPN!  

Why Configure VPN?  

This allows you to connect to a server in a different country not restricted by streaming service limitations. You may then access select platforms’ local catalogues, such as Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, or DisneyPlus. That’s also a great way to watch anime on Netflix’s Japanese branch.
