3. Private Internet Access — Extensive network gives you plenty of local servers to watch Amazon Prime Video, but the platform can sometimes detect it.
4. NordVPN — SmartPlay auto-adjusts your DNS settings to work seamlessly with Amazon Prime Video, but its user interface isn’t beginner-friendly.

While not the fastest, PIA’s 72Mbps on a distant server in Australia is enough to stream in UHD , which requires a 25Mbps connection. However, a 28% drop in speeds could interrupt your streaming if your internet is slow. If so, try switching to 128-bit encryption so that your data takes less time to transfer and your connection gets faster.

Key Features:

• 8918+ servers in 178 countries make NordVPN work with most Amazon Prime Video regional libraries
• 10Gbps servers provide ample bandwidth for resource-intensive tasks like UHD streaming
• Includes obfuscation and DNS and IP leak protection so that Amazon Prime Video can’t detect VPN usage
• Stream on up to 10 devices simultaneously
• Gives you 30 days to try it risk-free

Most NordVPN servers use 10Gbps ports that can handle more traffic and support bandwidth-intensive tasks, like UHD streaming and online gaming. I didn’t have any issues with instability, disconnections, or overcrowding on the 10 servers I tested across North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

In speed tests, NordVPN was almost as fast as ExpressVPN, which earned it a spot in my top VPNs in 2026 list. Its proprietary NordLynx is built upon the already-efficient WireGuard and uses a double NAT system to ensure privacy while streaming. Here’s how it performed across different locations:

While visually appealing, I didn’t find NordVPN’s user interface as intuitive. The map-based server pins can be a bit difficult to navigate, though you get used to it over time. To avoid that, you can use the traditional server list on the left pane, which also contains obfuscated, onion over VPN, and P2P specialized servers.

NordVPN works on: Windows, Mac OS, Android, iOS, tvOS, Windows Phone, gaming consoles, browsers, smart TVs, and more

Key Features:

• 4,500+ servers in 100 countries and virtual connections in around 40 countries

• Includes NoBorders Mode, LAN Invisibility, and IP rotator for smooth and secure streaming
• Lets you connect and stream on unlimited devices with a single deal
• Backs every offer with a 30-day money-back guarantee

Surfshark works on: Windows, Mac OS, Android, iOS, tvOS, Linux, Fire Stick, consoles, smart TVs, and more

• Speeds — I measured each VPN’s speeds on different server locations and picked ones that provided near-baseline connections on local and nearby servers.
• Server network — I evaluated the size and spread of each VPN’s network so it can work with multiple Amazon Prime Video regional libraries.
• Compatibility — I picked VPNs that work on desktops, mobiles, smart TVs, and have Smart DNS functionality so you can configure it on VPN-incompatible devices.
• Ease of use — I used each VPN extensively and picked ones with intuitive and beginner-friendly interfaces.
• Money-back guarantee — I checked the validity and ease of claiming each VPN’s refund guarantee.

1. Get a VPN that works with Amazon Prime Video. I recommend ExpressVPN because it guarantees fast and reliable connections for uninterrupted UHD streaming.
2. Connect to a server in your country. Choose the nearest physical server for fast speeds or let your VPN connect you automatically.
3. Sign in to Amazon Prime Video and start watching. Stay connected to the VPN server and enjoy smooth, lag-free streaming.

Error 1042 — Your device’s Internet connection is using an HTTP proxy which prevents playing your video. Please close or disable any proxy programs and try again.

Error 1044 — Your device is connected to the internet using a VPN or proxy service. Please disable it and try again. for more help, go to primevideo.com/vpn.

Fortunately, there are some ways you can remove these errors and start streaming on the platform.

• Switch to a different server — Amazon Prime Video might block some servers. Connecting to a different server can give you a fresh, unflagged IP address.
• Clear your cache and cookies — Cached data and cookies can reveal your location. Clearing them helps prevent Amazon Prime Video from detecting your actual IP address.
• Update your VPN app — Outdated VPN apps are often incompatible with streaming services. Update your app to get the latest security patches and server updates.
• Try a different protocol — Switching to a different VPN protocol, like WireGuard or OpenVPN, can help bypass detection methods used by Amazon Prime Video.
• Disable IPv6 addresses — IPv6 traffic can leak your true location. Disabling IPv6 in your device settings ensures all traffic goes through the VPN’s encrypted tunnel.
• Use streaming-optimized servers — If your VPN offers streaming-optimized servers, switch to them as they’re specifically designed for streaming.
• Use Smart DNS — Smart DNS services reroute only your DNS requests so that you appear to be in a different region without alerting Amazon Prime Video’s VPN detectors.
