Use a VPN with Emby<\/h2>\n

Whenever you access anything on the internet, your ISP and any other monitoring organizations can always see your activities. Just by connecting, you expose your IP address which carries information such as your ISP, your exact location, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You do not want to broadcast your personally identifiable information whenever you stream, and especially if you want to use Emby plugins<\/strong>. To stay private and secure among other things, you need to use a good VPN like Surfshark<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"ThisSuch a VPN will encrypt your traffic with military-grade standards<\/strong>, and it will then securely tunnel it to a server in a location of your choice. This server will then mask your IP address and give you a new one. This way, you will have a new secure online identity.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> Emby on PS4 uses an insecure connection (HTTP), and so the VPN’s encryption will go a long way in protecting your data too.<\/p>\n

The good thing about Surfshark<\/a><\/strong> is that it allows you to secure all your family devices and get many\u00a0simultaneous connections at a friendly price with one single subscription<\/strong>.
\nThe VPN is also super-fast, and so you won\u2019t have to worry about speed cuts. With it ISP throttling and geo-restrictions will also become a thing of the past.<\/strong><\/p>\n
