How to set up a VPN on PlayStation

You can protect your PlayStation with NordVPN in two ways:

Know how to set up a VPN on your PlayStation

Use your router

See if your router is VPN compatible. Most modern routers support VPN connections, though some may need a manual configuration. Check if your router supports a VPN
Once you have set up a VPN connection on your router, simply connect your PlayStation to your Wi-Fi network.

Connect VPN for PS console via your Windows PC

Connect PlayStation to your Windows PC

1. Get the NordVPN app for your Windows PC.

2. Head to “Control panel” -> “Network and internet” -> “Network and sharing center.” Select “Change adapter settings.”

3. Then, right-click “TAP-NordVPN Windows” and choose “Properties.”

4. Open the sharing tab and turn on “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s internet connection.” Select the network you want to share the connection with.

5. After changing adapter settings, remember to switch to the right VPN protocol (TCP or UDP) on the NordVPN app.

6. Connect the PC to your console using an ethernet cable. Then, open the NordVPN app and connect to a server.

7. That’s it – your console is now protected by a VPN.

How to choose the best VPN provider for PlayStation

Speed

Lag is the killer of gaming. When choosing a VPN provider, make sure to pay special attention to the speed of the service to avoid any bandwidth throttling whatsoever.

Servers

A game you want to play might be unavailable in your area. A large network of servers allows you to enjoy gaming whether you’re in Canada, the UK, Australia, or anywhere else in the world.

Convenience

Ease of use is everything these days. Look for a VPN app that has a comprehensive interface, is lightweight, and can run on multiple devices simultaneously ⁠— you’ll thank yourself later.

Frequently asked questions

Does NordVPN work on all the latest gaming devices?

Yes, with our VPN app, you can secure all your gaming gadgets from cybercriminals. So, whether it’s your brand new PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch, NordVPN will keep you safe and private. Remember that you’ll need to share the VPN connection from your router or Windows PC because game consoles don’t support built-in VPN functionality.

Is there a free VPN for PS4 and PS5?

Just like with VPNs for other devices, you can get a free VPN on PS4 and PS5, but that’s a terrible idea. First, a free VPN service will have to make money somewhere else. So, your data may become their source of income — the VPN provider can make a buck by selling your sensitive information to third parties.

Then there’s convenience. Most free VPNs provide flimsy services: Slow connections, overloaded servers, constant buffering, and data caps are a regular occurrence.

How do I put a VPN on my router?

The steps for setting up a VPN on a router vary based on its model and firmware. So, check your router and firmware model, visit our tutorial page, and search for instructions specific to your device. You can find step-by-step installation guides for every VPN-compatible router.

Will a VPN make your PlayStation console faster?

If you use a fast, lightweight, and quality VPN app, you should experience zero to no lag when gaming. In fact, your online gaming experience can even improve ⁠— by hiding your real IP address, a VPN prevents your ISP from throttling your bandwidth and slowing you down.

Is port forwarding safe for PS5?

Yes, port forwarding your PS5 is entirely safe. It allows you to boost your internet connection speed and avoid lags. Learn more about port forwarding your console here.

How can I use a VPN on PS4 without a computer?

Gaming consoles themselves don’t support VPN applications. However, there’s another connection method at your disposal ⁠— you can use a VPN on PS4 (either PS4 Pro or PS4 Slim) without a Linux or Windows PC by setting up a VPN connection on your router.
