USip VPN for Windows
Use the same USip connection when browsing US websites or opening streaming services on your PC. A residential IP describes the connection’s source: real home broadband in the United States.

No other USip customer uses your assigned public IP simultaneously. The address is dynamic, rather than a permanent fixed IP.

Windows playback tests
An NBC episode played on demand from Denmark. In Belgium, Pluto TV first showed the European channel lineup. Both checks used Windows 11 and OpenVPN Connect 3.7. Here’s what we saw on each PC.
Passed ·
On a Dell XPS 13 using Edge, we opened the US catalog and watched the first episode of Brilliant Minds season 2 for 18 minutes. This check covered on-demand playback only.
With issues ·
Chrome on an ASUS Zenbook initially showed Pluto TV’s European lineup. After we reopened Pluto TV, the US lineup appeared and the Star Trek channel played for five minutes.
First check that OpenVPN Connect is connected and that your public IP shows the United States on this PC. Then close and reopen Pluto TV, inspect the channel list and try the channel you want.
In our test in Belgium, Chrome on Windows 11 initially showed the European lineup. After reopening Pluto TV, the US lineup appeared and the Star Trek channel played for five minutes. Read the test record.
If the European lineup remains, contact Support with your country, browser, channel and any error message. The test records what happened on that setup. It did not establish why the list changed.
Get connected
You need an active USip VPN subscription or trial before your USip profile can connect. Installing OpenVPN Connect by itself does not provide the service.
Start a 3-day trial and get your USip account and connection details. Already subscribed? Go to the setup guide.
Follow the Windows guide to install OpenVPN Connect, select or import your USip profile and enter your service credentials.
Connect your USip profile, then check that your public IP location shows United States. You can then open the website or streaming service you want to use.
Watching on a television instead of your PC? TV-like devices use USip Smart DNS, configured on the TV or router. Follow the Smart DNS guide, including public IP registration.
Smart DNS is different from the VPN connection described on this page: it does not create a VPN tunnel or provide VPN encryption.

Questions before you start
The setup route explained in our Windows guide uses OpenVPN Connect with a USip profile. OpenVPN Connect is the app; USip provides the subscription, connection profile and service credentials.
After connecting your USip profile in OpenVPN Connect, open an IP-location checker in your browser and confirm that the public country is United States. The Windows setup guide includes the verification step. A US IP alone does not guarantee that every streaming title will play.
No. USip assigns the US location automatically and does not offer a permanent fixed IP. If you reconnect within 15 minutes, you receive the same IP address; reconnecting does not always change it.
Your assigned public IP is exclusive to one USip customer at a time. It is a dynamically assigned address, so this is different from a permanent dedicated IP.
Playback depends on the service, account, subscription, device and current restrictions. Use your own streaming account and any required subscription. Check our dated streaming test results for the service and setup you want to use.
A payment method is required. After the trial, your plan renews at the price and in the currency shown at checkout. You can choose monthly, six-month or annual billing. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid the first charge.
Choose a plan to start your trial, or follow the setup instructions if you already have USip.
