Note that not all VPNs are the same. There are some that work better in terms of speed and stability, others that have more or less servers to connect to, etc. Choosing very well which one to use is key to making everything work as well as possible and that there are no problems.
Apps that can fail with VPN
These problems can lead to a program not working properly if you connect via VPN. Could be locked, directly, but it could also happen that it works badly and you have limitations. This is especially going to happen in some cases, as we are going to explain below.
streaming services
A clear example is streaming services. if you use platforms like Netflix, you might run into problems when connecting to a VPN. Why is this happening? You could be connected to a server hosted in another country. That can cause you to have trouble seeing content from where you actually are. You can use reliable VPN apps like Surfshark or NordVPN.
In addition, you could find blocks in certain countries to see something in particular. For example, you might want to watch a football match that is broadcast in Spain over the Internet, without problems, but as soon as that page or application detects that you are connecting with an IP from another country, it would stop working.
Social networks
We are not talking about blocking platforms, but we are talking about problems you may have when using them. For example, you could be using Twitter connected to a VPN from another country and you get results related to that nation. It’s basically like you’re logged in somewhere else, so trends, search results, etc. can change.
Also, some social networks could have certain problems when you connect from another country, which is what happens when using a VPN server. There may be features that are not available, profiles that you may not have access to, and other limitations that you may experience.
downloads
One more case is the download applications. This time, the problem may be in terms of the speed and quality. You might see that the downloads are cut off or the speed is very limited. Ultimately, browsing through a VPN can make your Internet connection worse.
It is essential that you choose a good VPN, that has many servers, and thus choose which one to connect to so that it works as well as possible. The objective is that the speed is adequate to be able to download content without so many problems. PureVPN is an option that performs well when it comes to speed. Also others like PrivateVPN.
banking applications
Bank programs may be blocked when you connect from another country. This is something that I have been able to verify with several banks. If you connect from a foreign IP, the application does not allow you to log in directly. Is a security measuresbut that can actually affect you when making a transfer, checking your balance, etc.
Try to use a VPN that has servers hosted in Spain and thus you will avoid problems when opening banking programs. This is something that can also happen with other services that you have contracted, since they use a security mechanism in some cases.
Therefore, as you can see, you may have problems using certain applications when you connect through a VPN. It is important that you take this into account and take the appropriate measures so that this does not affect you or, at least, reduce the impact as much as possible. Always check everything very well. You can always export a VPN connection in Windows if you need to.
