How-To-Install-VyprVPN-on-Roku-in-India

VyprVPN is an all-around powerful VPN service. But despite that, you still can’t install it on your Roku device in India since Roku doesn’t have native support for VPNs.

Because of this issue, if you’re not in the US or in any of the other few supported countries, then you’re not going to be able to access any of the popular channels on Roku due to licensing issues.

But there is a way you can make VyprVPN work on your Roku device in India.

If you have a physical router or a computer that can run as a virtual router, then you can provide a VPN connection to your Roku device. Don’t worry, it’s not complicated at all.

Keeping this in mind, in today’s guide, I will show you how to set up VyprVPN on Roku in India in the easiest ways possible using physical and virtual routers.

Does VyprVPN work with Roku in India?

Yes, VyprVPN works with Roku devices in India. That said, you can’t install its app directly onto your Roku device. Instead, you’ll have to use your physical or virtual router running VyprVPN and then connect your Roku device to it. That’s the only way.

Although you can make any VPN with router support work with Roku in India, do keep in mind that not all VPNs can help you bypass strict geo-restrictions.

But since VyprVPN offers plenty of servers and it also supports torrenting in India, it can easily help you watch almost all blocked content and channels available on Roku. Just check out our VyprVPN review India to get an idea of how good this VPN service is.
