Why you need a VPN to stream the New York City Marathon

Some internet and network providers might slow your connection if they think you’re streaming too much, causing laggy streams and buffering that can ruin your New York City Marathon viewing experience. The solution is to use a VPN, which lets you encrypt your traffic, keep your online activity private from your ISP, and bypass throttling to watch the New York City Marathon seamlessly.

If you’re working on the weekend and the Wi-Fi at your office blocks streaming services, you could miss out on the racing. But when you encrypt and anonymize your activity with a VPN, you can unblock streaming platforms and watch the action on any network.
