Best VPNs for MUBI

Despite customers seldomly reporting issues while using the service, MUBI is known to crash while streaming. To avoid this type of problem, a VPN is recommended. Besides providing an anonymous and private connection, VPN services can help achieve a more stable connection, since some of them include servers that are optimized for streaming.

MUBI can be used on a diverse range of devices. In addition to being available on desktop as a website, users can also access it on iOS and Android devices, smart TVs, Roku, Blu-ray Players from 2013 onwards, as well as on the Sony PlayStation 3 and 4 in Europe. To start enjoying the service, users just need to register using an email and select a payment method, so that after their seven-day trial ends, the monthly subscription kicks off. The application’s interface is optimized for each platform it can be used on so that navigation is easier.

Technical problems aren’t very common with MUBI. However, as we mentioned before, connectivity problems may cause some interruptions during streaming.

As MUBI is available for streaming and downloading movies in over 195 countries around the world, some would be suspicious of its legality. However, the service is completely legal. Films are brought to its 8 million registered members by way of licensing deals. That is also the reason why every country has its own line-up, as the rights to show even a single film are often divided by different distributors and territories. While this means that films will vary from country to country, it also allows MUBI to carefully select content for local audiences.

Despite the service being available in over 195 countries, some users will prefer to subscribe to another country’s plan, instead of the one they’re in. In order to do that, it will be necessary to use a VPN. By switching the IP address of the real location with an address in the desired country, users will be able to circumvent geographical restrictions. Given some of the reported issues regarding connectivity while streaming, using a VPN will also help provide a more stable connection.

However, MUBI is the kind of service that some will use across multiple devices. This means that for those who are simultaneously using a VPN, it will be necessary to set up the software on every single device. When using multiple devices, the best option is to configure the VPN into the router itself. This way, you only need to configure the VPN once and each device that will connect to the network will immediately connect to the VPN. Additionally, devices that have no built-in VPN support system will be able to connect to it.
