Best VPNs for Deezer

Since this music streaming service is only unavailable in 25 countries, saying Deezer offers its service worldwide is not an understatement. However, that doesn’t mean that all countries have access to the same music libraries, so you may come across some gray, unplayable tracks which mean they are not available in your country.

Moreover, Deezer’s premium membership price also changes depending on the country you’re accessing it from due to different reasons, such as the cost of music licensing and the country’s GDP.

Fortunately, there is one solution to solve all the problems mentioned above. You need to trick Deezer’s servers into thinking that you are at a different location than you actually are. Of course, depending on what your objective is, you should choose different countries accordingly. If you want to get access to the library with the most tracks, France or the U.S. are good options, but if you want to get the service for a lower price, it’s better to go for a South American country instead. The best and most reliable way to change your IP, and, therefore, your location, is by using a VPN provider, which will not only change your IP but also hide and protect you while doing it.

Although Deezer does its best to be accessible everywhere in the world, there is something that it cannot do, which is to bypass network blockages that can happen in schools and companies.

There are many things a network admin needs to think about when managing a network that many people access, one of them being bandwidth. For example, if someone decides to start torrenting in the middle of a workspace, all of the other people may face a slowdown in their connections, which is why sometimes companies choose to block websites which use a lot of bandwidth like YouTube or Deezer.

To protect its network and block specific websites, the network admin can opt for two choices: firewall blocking/filtering or DNS blocking/filtering. Whatever the method, the network administrator will always need to either have access to your unencrypted data stream or force you to use the network’s DNS servers. Since VPNs protect your data with military-grade encryption and most also use private, encrypted DNS servers, not only will the network admin be unable to read, decrypt, or block your web traffic, but they won’t even know which websites you’re unblocking.

Deezer is global, not only country-wise but also device-wise. From your smartwatch to your car, you can listen to your favorite songs literally everywhere. Although that seems terrific, it also means that Deezer will be able to access your data at all times, especially if you are running the free version where you get targeted advertisements.

Nowadays, VPNs know that everything is connected, and some of them already support all major platforms, including smart TVs and consoles. However, not all of them are as easy to set up as computers or mobile phones where you only need to install and click ‘connect’. Lucky for us, usually the VPN providers always have a set-by-step guide somewhere on their websites explaining how to do the trickier setups.

Unfortunately, devices like smartwatches, speakers, voice assistants, and your car’s info entertainment system are not within a VPN’s grasp. Therefore, you won’t be able to install the security you need directly. However, there are some ways to circumvent this problem. You can have the VPN running on your phone and have those devices connected to it, or, if you are at home, you can opt to install the VPN directly on your router, which will protect all devices connected to its network.

While choosing a VPN to use with Deezer, the connection speed is one of the most important factors to take into account, especially if you are going for the Hi-Fi subscription, because who likes to listen to music that’s breaking up?
