How to watch MX Player online from anywhere with a VPN

MX Player is now only available in India — Amazon announced the withdrawal of the service from all other countries in 2024. If you’re traveling outside of India, you’ll need to use a VPN that can provide Indian IP addresses in order to access it.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it via a server in a location of your choosing. Once connected, your device assumes an IP address from the chosen server location, which makes it appear as if you’re browsing from somewhere else. This means that, aside from providing security and privacy protection, you can use a VPN to unblock geo-restricted services like MX Player.

In this post, I’ll explain how to watch MX Player online from anywhere with a VPN. I’ll give detailed reviews of the providers I recommend later, but in case you’re short on time, I’ll start with a summary.

How to watch MX Player online from anywhere with a VPN

While VPNs may sound very technical, they’re usually very easy to use. This is especially the case for the VPNs recommended in this post, all of which provide beginner-friendly apps and 24/7 support.

Here’s how to watch MX Player online from anywhere using a VPN:

1. The first step is to sign up with a VPN provider. I particularly recommend NordVPN.
2. Now you’ll be able to download the VPN app that’s compatible with your streaming device.
3. Open the VPN app and connect to a server in India to get an Indian IP address.
4. Go to MX Player and select the content you want to stream. This should now play without any errors.
5. You may need to clear your browser’s cookies for the change to take effect. Otherwise, try connecting to another server or get in touch with your VPN’s support team.

How I selected the top VPNs for MX Player

While there are hundreds of VPN providers to choose from, only a few tick all of the boxes I look for in a VPN for streaming MX Player. Below is an overview of the key areas I was interested in for testing.

• Network suitability: I started by looking for VPNs that could provide IP addresses in India via virtual server locations, i.e., using servers that weren’t actually located in the country. This allows VPN companies to circumvent India’s data-collection laws (more on this later). I also scored providers on the number of countries they supported overall, and their compatibility with a range of streaming platforms beyond just MX Player.
• Speed: If you want to stream from abroad, you’ll need a VPN that’s fast enough to do so. I tested each provider’s speeds multiple times while connected to their virtual servers in India.
• Value for money: If you’re using a free service like MX Player, you’re unlikely to want to spend more than is necessary on a VPN subscription. I found the best value providers by evaluating them against eight different metrics.
• Security and privacy: I’ve only recommended VPNs that provide adequate protection — which includes using robust encryption and not logging user activity. In all, I evaluated providers against 16 security and privacy criteria.
• Ease of use: To get you streaming MX Player as quickly as possible, I looked for VPNs that were easy to use. I assessed the overall user-friendliness of each service using 10 different criteria.

The above is just a summary. You can read about the full testing process — and see the results of my tests — later in the article. For now, let’s take a closer look at the highest-scoring providers.

Best VPNs to watch MX Player online from anywhere

Here’s my list of the best VPNs for MX Player:

1. NordVPN

Mar 2026 works with MX PlayerTested Mar 2026

NordVPN is my top-choice VPN for watching MX Player. It has more than 8,000 RAM-only servers in 180+ locations.

For India, it has virtual server locations for Mumbai IP addresses. This made it easy for me to access MX Player without issue. Note that NordVPN also worked well with international platforms, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney Plus. In my years of testing, I’ve yet to find a service that NordVPN doesn’t work with.

Better still, speeds are fast and unthrottled, so you can stream Indian TV from abroad in high resolution without lag or buffering. While connected to NordVPN’s virtual server in Mumbai, I measured speeds averaging 208.73 Mbps.

This is more than fast enough to stream MX Player content in 4K on eight devices simultaneously. For reference, NordVPN allows up to 10 simultaneous connections.

With a NordVPN subscription, you have access to a range of specialty servers. These include those optimized for P2P, double VPN, and Onion Over VPN for an extra layer of encryption.

NordVPN is a no-logs service and has passed multiple independent audits to prove this. Further security features include 256-bit AES encryption, DNS, and IPv6 leak protection. Plus, 24/7 live chat and email support is also available should you need any help.

To use NordVPN, you’ll need to download an app for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Linux, Amazon Fire TV, or Android TV. Alternatively, you can use a Chrome or Firefox browser extension. Use with compatible Wi-Fi routers requires following manual setup instructions.

BEST VPN FOR MX PLAYER:NordVPN is my top VPN recommendation. Large server network (8,000+ servers) covering 180+ locations. Fast and also works with Netflix. Offers specialty P2P and Double VPN servers. No-logs VPN with 24/7 support. Try it risk-free thanks to its 30-day money-back guarantee.

2. Surfshark

works with MX PlayerTested Mar 2026

Surfshark has proven itself to be one of the fastest VPNs available, providing speeds that are more than fast enough for streaming MX Player content in HD and 4K. In my tests, it achieved an impressive average download speed of 189.83 Mbps.

This was more than 48 Mbps faster than the combined average speed of the other tested providers.

Surfshark’s network has grown over the years, reaching some 4.500+ servers in 100+ countries. Using one of its two virtual India server locations, I was able to watch MX Player from abroad with ease. It also worked well with other Indian platforms like Hotstar, Zee5, and Tata Play.

Once inside Surfshark’s user-friendly apps, you’ll find it offers MultiHop (also known as Double VPN) servers. These encrypt your data twice, should you desire the extra layer of security.

Speaking of security, Surfshark has more recently introduced Surfshark One. This add-on suite of security tools includes an antivirus and breach detection feature. Besides this, you can expect 256-bit AES encryption, protection from DNS and IPv6 leaks, and a kill switch. There’s also a strict no-logs policy.

A Surfshark subscription includes apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Amazon Fire TV, and Android TV. Note also that Surfshark also lets you connect as many devices as you want simultaneously. Browser extensions can be downloaded for Chrome and Firefox, while Surfshark can also be manually configured to work with select wireless routers.

BEST VALUE VPN:Surfshark offers the great speeds for streaming MX Player lag-free. Securely access 30+ Netflix libraries. Unlimited simultaneous connections, Double VPN servers, and 24/7 live chat and email support. Strict no-logs policy. Includes a 30-day money-back guarantee.

3. Total VPN

works with MX PlayerTested Mar 2026

Total VPN has servers in Mumbai suitable for streaming MX Player. The provider also worked well with Netflix, Disney Plus, and Amazon Prime Video during testing.

Speed-wise, the provider performed impressively. Across my three tests, it averaged 171.88 Mbps, which is fast enough for everything from multiplayer gaming to streaming MX Player content in 4K.

Total VPN has servers in 85+ countries overall, some of which aren’t typically represented by other big-name providers. It’s the ideal option for users who need an IP address in China or Russia, for example.

Apps can be navigated intuitively — even by those with no previous experience with VPN software. A list of available countries occupies the left-hand side of the dashboard. Users can click any of them to establish a connection — or let Total VPN choose for them by clicking ‘Fastest Connection’.

Total VPN uses the WireGuard protocol by default. Three other options are available — the most useful of which is Hydra. This automatically obfuscates VPN traffic so that it can evade detection in restrictive countries. Other features include split tunneling, a kill switch, and built-in leak protection.

Subscriptions cost the equivalent of $1.59 a month, which is excellent value — particularly as plans include free antivirus software. Each subscription allows up to five simultaneous device connections. Supported platforms include Windows, Android, macOS, iOS, and tvOS.

SECURE CONNECTIONS:Total VPN uses strong 256-bit encryption and can disguise VPN traffic as regular traffic. It has servers in 85+ countries and works with a wide range of streaming platforms. Plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

4. ProtonVPN

works with MX PlayerTested Mar 2026

ProtonVPN is dedicated to user privacy and security. It runs its own Secure Core servers that users can route traffic through for extra protection, and has a no-logs policy that’s been audited multiple times.

Overall, the provider has a dizzying 15,000 servers spread across 120+ countries. Some — such as those in India — are virtually located. They nevertheless work great with geo-restricted streaming platforms like MX Player. During my time with ProtonVPN, I was also able to access Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney Plus without issue.

Once connected, you can expect fast speeds suitable for everything from streaming to torrenting. In my tests for this article, I measured speeds of between 163.87 Mbps and 169.61 Mbps — results which are both consistent and fast.

In my experience, ProtonVPN is one of the few providers that allows port forwarding. This, together with its commitment to user privacy, makes it a solid option for torrenting.

Other features include split tunneling, built-in leak protection, and a Stealth protocol for evading detection on restrictive networks.

ProtonVPN allows up to 10 simultaneous device connections per subscription. It has well-designed apps available for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Chromebook, and Linux. It also has Chrome and Firefox browser extensions. If you want to protect all of the devices on your home network in one hit, then you can manually configure a connection on compatible routers.

RICH IN FEATURES:ProtonVPN has just about everything you could want from a VPN. It’s fast, secure, private, and works great for streaming MX Player and more. It allows port forwarding and has a vast server network. Subscriptions come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

5. ExpressVPN

works with MX PlayerTested Mar 2026

ExpressVPN sets itself apart from most India VPNs with a server network that covers an impressive 105+ countries. This includes India, which is represented by a virtual server location in Chennai.

These worked great with MX Player during testing. ExpressVPN is also an excellent choice for unblocking other platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, and BBC iPlayer. Its MediaStreamer service helps VPN-incompatible devices stream geo-restricted content, too.

In my tests, the provider’s slowest and fastest results only varied by 4.19 Mbps. Overall, it averaged a solid 143.5 Mbps.

This means that, when it comes to streaming, you will be able to do so in the highest quality without interruption. As well as providing consistently quick speeds, ExpressVPN doesn’t throttle your connection.

Should you need any help, keep in mind that ExpressVPN offers subscribers live chat and email support (available 24 hours a day). However, it’s a very easy-to-use service, so you shouldn’t need any assistance. Indeed, its router support is unparalleled, with an interactive router setup guide and even an auto update feature. All of your internet traffic is secured with 256-bit AES encryption, while further security is provided in the form of a kill switch and protection against DNS, IPv6, and WebRTC leaks.

ExpressVPN now offers tiered subscription levels — Basic for $3.49, Advanced for $4.49, and Pro for $7.49. This setup lets you pick the option that best aligns with both your budget and your security preferences. It’s still not the cheapest provider around, but this is a move in the right direction and raises the connection allowance to 10 – 14.

ExpressVPN has desktop (Windows, Mac, and Linux) and mobile (Android and iOS) apps as well as those for Android TV and Amazon Fire TV. However, you may prefer to use a Chrome or Firefox extension or the custom firmware for routers.

SERVERS IN 105+ COUNTRIES:ExpressVPN servers are available in 100+ countries. High-speed connections and unlimited bandwidth. Stream MX Player, Netflix, Disney+, Hotstar, and more. 24/7 support and secure with high-end encryption. 30-day money-back guarantee.

6. IPVanish

works with MX PlayerTested Mar 2026

IPVanish has 10 virtual servers located in the Indian city of Nizāmābād. This makes it easy to stream MX Player when traveling outside India. Users can choose between individual servers, making use of the ping time and load displayed next to each.

Unlike many VPNs, I’ve found that IPVanish also works well with Netflix, BBC iPlayer, and Amazon Prime Video. With plenty of servers and IP addresses to go around, you’ll have no trouble finding a low-load server for streaming.

While connected to one of its virtual servers in India, I recorded speeds averaging 166.36 Mbps. This makes IPVanish suitable for a range of tasks, including streaming, gaming, and torrenting. 

Got a lot of devices to secure? IPVanish lets you connect all of your devices under the same account simultaneously. Once connected, all of your data is routed through a 256-bit AES-encrypted tunnel. You’re also protected from DNS leaks, while a kill switch cuts your internet traffic in the event that your VPN connection drops. If you’re looking to browse anonymously, keep in mind that IPVanish operates a zero-logs policy, which helps keep your privacy intact.

Once signed up with IPVanish, you’ll have access to apps for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Amazon Fire TV. You can also manually configure Linux and your router to work with IPVanish.

UNLIMITED DEVICES:IPVanish lets you connect as many devices as you like simultaneously. Faster speeds thanks to WireGuard protocol. Security includes encryption. Operates a zero-logs policy and offers 24/7 support. Has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

7. CyberGhost

works with MX PlayerTested Mar 2026

CyberGhost has a massive array of servers, clocking in at over 11,000. It has a virtual server location in Mumbai, which worked great for accessing MX Player and would be a solid choice for watching Indian TV in the US.

More generally, CyberGhost is a particularly good option for streaming as it maintains a list of streaming servers together with the platforms that they work best with.

I tested the servers for the US versions of Netflix, Disney Plus and Amazon Prime Video, and they all worked as expected.

Speed-wise, CyberGhost is very quick. In my speed tests, it averaged 154.41 Mbps and was faster than the combined average speed of the other providers.

CyberGhost stands out for its exceptional security features. It includes top-notch measures such as 256-bit AES encryption, DNS and IPv6 leak protection, and an automatic kill switch. Additionally, the service offers a beta version of a password manager and a Security Suite for Windows users, and it does not keep logs. Like other high-quality VPN providers, CyberGhost also provides round-the-clock live chat and email support.

I think CyberGhost’s appeal is enhanced by its extensive device compatibility. Its applications can be accessed on multiple platforms, including Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Linux, Amazon Fire TV, and Android TV. Browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox are also available. Additionally, with manual configuration, it can be used with select routers.

10,000+ SERVERS:CyberGhost has over 10,000 servers in 100+ countries. Lag-free streaming of MX Player thanks to unlimited bandwidth. Secure up to seven of your devices at the same time. Strict no-logs policy and 24/7 support. Also includes a 45-day money-back guarantee.

6. PrivateVPN

works with MX PlayerTested Mar 2026

PrivateVPN servers are available in more than 63 countries, making it highly suitable for accessing your usual services when traveling overseas. It has two virtual server locations that work with MX Player: one in Bangalore and one in Mumbai.

I tested my speeds while connected to PrivateVPN’s Mumbai server. As you can see from the chart below, speeds were slower than with the other providers I’ve looked at so far.

Nevertheless, PrivateVPN is still fast enough for high-resolution streaming — though you may experience some slowdown if doing so on more than two devices simultaneously.

One of the main advantages of this VPN is that it works with many popular streaming services. In addition to MX Player, I was able to securely access Netflix, BBC iPlayer, and Disney+.

The desktop and mobile apps of PrivateVPN are extremely easy to navigate. You can connect to a server in a single click, while live chat and email support are at hand should you encounter any issues (free remote help and installation is also available). Security features include 256-bit AES encryption, DNS leak protection, and a kill switch. You’ll be able to use PrivateVPN on as many as 10 devices at the same time.

PrivateVPN apps are available for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Amazon Fire TV, and Android TV. To use it with Linux or your home wi-fi router, follow the manual setup instructions provided by PrivateVPN.

STREAMING-FRIENDLY:PrivateVPN is secure and works with popular streaming services, including MX Player and Netflix. Beginner-friendly apps and quick-to-reply live chat and email support. True no-logs service and accepts Bitcoin. Has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

7. Hotspot Shield

works with MX PlayerTested Mar 2026

Hotspot Shield won’t throttle your connection and provides access to over 1,800 servers in 80 countries. You can use it to stream MX Player online from anywhere, thanks to a virtual server location in India.

Hotspot Shield has dedicated streaming servers available in several countries, including the US, Canada, and the UK. I used these to access several streaming platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, and Hulu.

Tested speeds averaged at 71.16 Mbps. Although this is far slower than most of the providers I’ve discussed, it’s actually fairly quick when compared to the VPN market as a whole. In practice, these speeds are fast enough for streaming high-resolution MX Player content on up to two devices at the same time without issue.

Once you’ve signed up for an account, you’ll be able to use Hotspot Shield to connect up to 10 of your devices simultaneously.

This VPN service includes 24-hour access to live chat and email support. It’s also highly secure thanks to its 256-bit AES encryption, a kill switch, and DNS leak protection. Hotspot Shield doesn’t keep any logs that can identify you as a user. It also provides paying subscribers with extra features, including access to an antivirus, password manager, and spam call blocker.

Connect to a Hotspot Shield server via its desktop (Windows, Mac, and Linux) or mobile (Android and iOS) apps. Alternatively, Amazon Fire TV and Android TV apps are available, as is a Chrome extension. Manual setup is needed in order to use it with compatible routers.
