Encrypted streaming on public Wi-Fi. Throttle-resistant on slow ISPs. Your home Hotstar subscription, wherever you're connecting from.
Protocols, leak protection, and platform coverage chosen for streaming reliability and privacy.
VPN Super's home-screen protocol row puts Auto first and highlights whichever one you're on—so you're not guessing which protocol to pick before a match starts.
Every server in the list shows its current latency in milliseconds, and Fastest Location auto-picks the lowest one—useful when you're settling in for a full live cricket match.
iOS ships a basic Kill Switch (VPN on-demand) today. Android and Windows Kill Switch are rolling out—check the app for current availability on your device.
DNS and IPv6 leak protection are live on Windows and Mac. Coverage on iOS and Android is still on the roadmap.
iOS free VPN covers 20 countries and 42 locations; Android free VPN covers 15 countries and 26 locations—the same encrypted tunnel as Premium, not a stripped-down demo.
Cover a phone, a laptop, and the living-room TV without juggling logins—handy when Hotstar is a whole household's app, not just yours.
No country-switching, no changing what's in your library. Just connect and watch.
Download VPN Super for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Apple TV, or Android TV.
Tap Fastest Location at the top of the server list. VPN Super picks the lowest-latency server automatically.
Your session is encrypted end to end—privacy and throttle-resistance on every platform VPN Super ships.
If you see Hotstar's VPN or proxy message, switch protocols on the home screen (try Auto first) and reconnect. A quick app restart clears most detection hiccups.
Honest answer, including Hotstar's own in-app message about what to expect when you stream with a VPN.
Hotstar checks for VPN and proxy traffic on its own connection—that's true with or without VPN Super. VPN Super doesn't promise to change what your account can access.
Hotstar's in-app message, as last captured for this page:
"Looks like you are connecting through a VPN, proxy or 'unblocker' service. Please turn off any of these services and try again."
Exact wording can change over time—if you see something slightly different, it's the same detection at work.
Privacy on public Wi-Fi, resistance to ISP throttling during a live match, and a stable connection to your home Hotstar subscription when you're traveling—the parts of streaming a VPN can genuinely improve.
A sample of VPN Super's server locations—chosen for coverage and low latency, not for content access.
