Why use Ivacy VPN for ZDF live streams?

Apart from defeating geo-restrictions, there are plenty of reasons why you will need Ivacy VPN.

First and foremost, it will prevent you from becoming compromised. You will not have to worry about your internet traffic being monitored. Since you get a new IP address after connecting to a VPN server, you will be practically invisible, even to your own ISP for that matter. Apart from that, your information will not be logged with Ivacy VPN, so you are safe through and through.

Secondly, since streaming requires unlimited bandwidth, you get just that with Ivacy VPN. You can stream all you want, without ISP throttling, thus ensuring you have a seamless streaming experience like never before.

Lastly, no matter how many times you access ZDF via Ivacy VPN, you will not have to worry about hackers or cybercriminals. Your private and confidential will remain intact, but only as long as you remain connected to Ivacy’s VPN servers.
