FastVPN turns 7: Your Internet freedom expands
In 2024, your FastVPN subscription worked harder for you. We delivered dedicated streaming servers to bypass geo-blocks for entertainment and gaming, split tunneling for faster connections, and Ad Blocker to help you fight online threats.
As we celebrate our 7th birthday, 2025 will herald even more tools for your digital independence. Soon, you’ll stream directly to your TV, shuffle IPs for better privacy, and secure dedicated residential IPs for uninterrupted access.
Whether you’re day trading from Texas or catching a game from a Turkish hotel, FastVPN continually evolves to match your ambitions.
Streaming without borders in 2024
Have you ever tried watching Netflix abroad? Arrive in Istanbul, and suddenly, Netflix switches libraries, Disney+ won’t stream, and your comfort shows vanish. That’s why we built dedicated streaming servers optimized for Netflix, HBO, BBC iPlayer, and more.
Now you can:
- Access more of your Netflix library while traveling
- Stream US sports without blackouts
- Watch Premier League highlights on the iPlayer
While we can’t guarantee access to every platform, our new specialized servers give you the best chance of watching entertainment content.
But streaming is just one part of online life. Sometimes, you need speed, and other times, you need security. That’s where split tunneling comes in.
Split tunneling: Your connection, your rules
Think of split tunneling as having two lanes on your digital highway—a secure VPN tunnel for sensitive work and a direct fast lane for everything else. You choose which apps need protection, and FastVPN handles the rest.
For example, you can route your Coinbase wallet through your VPN while running Discord locally for better performance.
Split tunneling is available on Windows, Android, and iOS apps.
But you need more than fast, flexible connections in today’s uncertain world. You’ll also require protection from malware threats. That’s where our new Ad Blocker comes in.
Advanced protection against pop-up ads
Ad Blocker works like a digital bouncer, stopping unwanted guests before they reach your screen. It’s not just about blocking annoying pop-ups — it’s about protecting your privacy and performance while you browse or study.
What it blocks:
- Intrusive ads that slow your browsing
- Trackers collecting your business data
- Hidden crypto miners eating your CPU
- Known scam and phishing domains
- Browser fingerprinting attempts
- Bandwidth-heavy video ads
Whether swiping on Tinder between meetings or working from a hotel bar, Ad Blocker runs silently in the background — keeping your connection clean and fast without slowing you down.
These upgrades transformed your VPN experience this year. Now, let’s look at what’s coming up in 2025.
FastVPN in 2025
From streaming the Super Bowl on your hotel TV to maintaining secure trading connections, here’s how your VPN subscription will protect your Internet freedom:
Stream on any TV
That Amazon Fire Stick in your HDMI port? It’s getting FastVPN built in. You can now use native apps for Fire Stick, Android TV, and Apple TV while watching laptop content on the big screen.
IP shuffling: Fresh start, same city
Need to switch coffee shops in downtown Austin but want to keep your connection local? IP shuffling lets you change your virtual location within the same place. Like moving from a Starbucks to Bouldin Creek Cafe, you’re still in Austin, just with a fresh digital footprint.
It’s perfect for maintaining privacy while:
- Accessing financial platforms
- Trading stock options
- Checking your work emails
- Browsing sensitive information
Your personal IP address
Need a dedicated connection that only you use? These premium residential IPs work like your own digital office — stable, trusted, and exclusive to you. Essential for:
- Clean connection for trading platforms
- Uninterrupted streaming access
- Trusted access to banking services
Better protection for Apple users
iPhone and Mac users get automatic kill switch protection. If their VPN connection drops, their connection stops instantly — there are no data leaks or exposed activity.
Multi-hop security
Route through multiple servers for enhanced privacy. It’s like taking a longer route to lose a tail — harder to track, more secure.
These upgrades transform your FastVPN subscription beyond simple privacy protection. With native TV apps, smarter security, and more control over your connection, you’ll have the tools to work and stream from anywhere in 2025.
Protecting your Internet freedom
Seven years of protecting your digital freedom, and we’re just getting started. Whether growing your business from home, locking in profits from city cafés, or streaming US content abroad, FastVPN evolves with your needs.
Your connection should work your way — we’ll make sure it does.
With FastVPN, available for less than $1/mo, the digital world is yours to explore for less.
