How to Watch GYAO Outside Japan

ExpressVPN is our lucky #1 VPN. This VPN provider has 3000 servers across 94 countries, and Japan is one country that has every service ExpressVPN can offer. Each Japanese server is capable of entirely hiding your IP address, torrenting and streaming without buffering or lagging.

However, ExpressVPN can’t let your privacy go unprotected while you’re streaming. While you’re browsing, all your web traffic is fully encrypted with best-in-class encryption technology and the most secure protocols available. A kill switch and private, zero-knowledge DNS keeps your information safe from hackers.

To make their services even more trustworthy, ExpressVPN installed a couple of unique features. A few years ago, TrustedServer technology was put in place. This technology puts all the data accumulated during your browsing sessions on RAM, instead of a hard drive. RAM disks are volatile storage; they need electricity to keep your data. With TrustedServer, your data is wiped with every reboot, and you get to start on a brand new slate.

Split tunneling is a feature that allows you to choose whether you want your data to go through ExpressVPN’s servers or your regular ISP.

ExpressVPN has apps for most devices, including standard platforms like Android, Windows macOS, iOS, and Linux. There are also apps for smart TVs, gaming consoles, routers, etc. ExpressVPN is a little more expensive than most VPNs, with prices ranging from $8.32-$12.95.However, it does come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so new users get to try it out risk-free.

ExpressVPN is a good choice for streaming Japanese TV shows abroad in general, and also works great with shows such as dTV and TVer.

NordVPN has been around for just a few years shy of a decade. Since then, it’s managed to build up a reputation of trustworthiness and care for its users, despite a few obstacles. NordVPN has managed to build one of the largest and most concentrated server networks in the VPN industry. It has over 5800 servers in 59 countries, and a large amount of those servers are situated just where we want them, in Japan. Amongst these servers are those that are dedicated to streaming and torrenting.

NordVPN also has some of the most advanced security features we’ve seen on a VPN. DoubleVPN feature takes your data through two different servers, thereby encrypting it twice. The Tor over VPN also encrypts your data multiple times, but instead, your information is taken to a TOR server. And finally, the CyberSec feature blocks ad, malware, and phishing attempts from disturbing your streaming sessions.

Apart from these advanced options, NordVPN also has an automatic kill switch, DNS leak prevention, and next-generation encryption technology. NordVPN allows for six simultaneous connections, one account, and it has apps for many devices. There are apps for all standard platforms, routers, browser extensions, and smart TVs. In case you have any questions about Nord VPN, or you get stuck on a setting, NordVPN’s award-winning 24/7 customer care live chat available to you.

NordVPN’s prices are about average for a VPN at $3.49-$11.95. There is a 30-day refund policy, though, so you can look before you leap.

NordVPN is a great choice for not only GYAO, but also shows such as the Japanese version of Netflix or gaming plattforms such as DMM.

Surfshark has proven time and time again, that age has nothing to do with prowess. Compared to some of the other VPNs on this list, Surfshark is quite young. However, this VPN is excellent at unblocking GYAO and can stream it without a hint of buffering or lag. Surfshark had just over a thousand servers, but they’re spread cleverly, with servers in over 61 countries.

Apart from being good at streaming and unblocking, Surfshark also has some top-tier features to take care of its users’ privacy while they’re being entertained. MultiHop is Surfshark’s version of a double VPN. However, the difference is that Surfshark sends users’ data to privacy-friendly countries. Camouflage Mode protects Surfshark users from all prying eyes. Even your ISP won’t be able to tell that you’re using a VPN.

Surfshark uses industry-leading encryption technology, a kill switch, and private DNS to make sure that users’ data is protected on every front. The CleanWeb feature removes all trackers, ads, phishing attempts, and malware. Surfshark’s split tunneling feature, Whitelister, lets you decide if you want your data routed through Surfshark or your ISP.

But all these features pale in the face of Surfshark’s trump card: Unlimited simultaneous connections on one account. And to match its trump card, Surfshark has apps for all standard platforms, routers, gaming consoles, browser extensions, and smart TVs.

All of this is available for the price range of $1.99-$11.95. Surfshark also offers refunds within thirty days, so you don’t have to rush into anything.

Surfshark is also a good choice for watching other TV shows such as AbemaTV or NicoNico if you are outside of Japan..

UltraVPN is one VPN provider that’s rather focused on internet freedom, and we’re all for that. This VPN is a fantastic unblocker and streams services like GYAO easily. UltraVPN has only about a hundred super fast servers at the moment, but they’re spread out across over 30 countries. These servers are all built to provide you with the best of content, anytime, anywhere, and in the highest quality possible.

UltraVPN is the youngest VPN on this list, but it has proven its stance. Although this VPN is majorly focused on being able to unblock geo-blocked/or geo-restricted content, that doesn’t mean that its users are any less safe than other VPNs. This VPN provider uses the highest-grade encryption technology to encrypt its users’ data. There’s also a secure firewall or kill switch to give users a layer of defense in case the connection between VPN and device is shaken.

UltraVPN has apps for Android, Windows, macOS, iOS, and FireTV. These apps are incredibly user-friendly and are especially great for those who want to watch GYAO but are new to using VPNs. These users will find that setting up UltraVPN to stream GYAO is as simple as choosing a server in Japan and clicking connect.

UltraVPN allows five simultaneous connections and has reasonable plans ranging from $3.75-$7.99. UltraVPN also has a 30-day money-back guarantee in place, so you can check their service out before jumping into anything. However, they’re confident that you won’t need it. We’re pretty sure, too.

Of all the VPNs in the industry, CyberGhost has got to be one of the oldest. But what’s more important is that, even after fifteen years, it’s still thriving. CyberGhost is another VPN that strongly believes in internet freedom, and the right of every adult to have access to the information they want. This is probably one reason why it has over 5900 servers in 89 countries. There are a substantial amount of CyberGhost servers in Japan, which is excellent for GYAO watchers.

Each CyberGhost server is optimized for speed and streaming. You can watch what you like in HD. CyberGhost protects users’ data with military-grade encryption technology and the most secure protocols, the kind they use in protecting government secrets. This is coupled with a kill switch and DNS leak prevention to prevent your data from being stolen.

In the quest to create an even faster VPN, CyberGhost introduced its split tunneling feature. You can use this to reduce the traffic going through your chosen CyberGhost server and send some data through your ISP. This will speed up your streaming.

CyberGhost has an alternate service that provides physically-manned servers, better bandwidth, and speeds. These servers are called NoSpy Servers and cost$4.99 in contrast to regular CyberGhost plans that cost from $2.75 to $12.99. CyberGhost has a rather generous return policy. It’s set at 45 days instead of thirty—ample time for you to decide if you want to be a Ghostie or not.
