Is it legal to use a VPN for streaming in Sydney?

In Sydney, as well as in the rest of Australia, the use of VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) is legal. However, the legality of using a VPN for streaming specifically can depend on what you are streaming and how you are accessing it. VPNs are commonly used to enhance privacy and security online by encrypting internet traffic and masking the user’s IP address. However, using a VPN to access geo-restricted content, such as streaming services available only in certain regions, enters a legal gray area. Many streaming platforms have terms of service that prohibit the use of VPNs to bypass geo-restrictions. Violating these terms can lead to the suspension or termination of your account with the service.

Trivia: Did you know that Australia is one of the countries with the highest use of VPNs in the world? This is largely due to the strict internet privacy laws and the desire of Australians to access a broader range of content from global streaming services.
