How-To-Install-Windscribe-on Roku-in-Spain

Windscribe is mostly known for being free, but it also offers a paid version too. But regardless of whichever version you get, you still won’t be able to install Windscribe on your Roku device. That’s because Roku doesn’t currently offer native support for VPNs.

That being said, you can still set up Windscribe on Roku in Spain if you have a physical router or a computer that can run as a virtual wifi hotspot. You’ll then be able to bypass geo-restrictions and access all blocked content on Roku.

To make your life easier, in today’s guide, I’ll show you how to set up Windscribe on your router (physical or virtual) and provide an encrypted VPN connection to your Roku device for an unrestricted content streaming experience.

Does Windscribe work with Roku in Spain+?

Yes, Windscribe works on Roku devices. However, in order to get the two of them to work together, you will need to either set up Windscribe on your physical router or use your computer (macOS/Windows) to provide a VPN connection work Windscribe on Roku in Spain.

While we’re specifically talking about using Windscribe, do keep in mind that you’re not going to be able to bypass strict geo-blocks imposed by Roku with just any random VPN service that you may find online.

Since Windscribe offers servers that work with torrenting in Spain and powerful features that can trample all sorts of geo-restrictions, it is one of the best VPN any Roku owner can get. Just check out our Windscribe review in Spain.

Anyways, now that you know that Windscribe works with Roku, let’s check out how you can set it up on your Roku device for restriction-free streaming.

How to Setup Windscribe on Roku in Spain (Via a router)

Setting up Windscribe on Roku in Spain on your physical router can be a bit difficult. Nonetheless, completely doable. All you need is a compatible router. Speaking of which, you can install Windscribe on DD-WRT, Tomato, and Asus routers.

You can also buy a pre-configured router from FlashRouters or VPNRouters. But if you’re all about that DIY lifestyle, here are all the steps you need to follow to get Windscribe installed on a DD-WRT.

Step 2: Open the control panel of your DD-WRT router and click on the “Services” tab > “VPN” tab

Step 4: Open up the .ovpn config file that you downloaded earlier with any text editor
