Test sample playback

Measure real sample-video playback and connection throughput in your browser, then open your streaming provider to verify your subscription and regional access.

The default sample is hosted by MDN. Running playback sends a request from your browser to the selected sample host.

Verify your provider directly

Sign in and play a title to check actual account and regional access.

How to use this tool

Follow these steps to get observations you can interpret and act on.

  1. Connect your VPN

    Choose the VPN location you want to evaluate and pause other large transfers.

  2. Play and measure a sample

    Use the default MDN video or a public HTTPS video URL. Start the test and keep the page open while it measures playback and transfers.

  3. Verify your provider

    Follow the provider links, sign in to your own account and play a title. Confirm the catalogue and playback in that service itself.

Behind the check

How the streaming VPN test works

The streaming test plays a sample video in your browser and measures short HTTP transfers. This helps you investigate playback and connection performance while your VPN is connected, without inventing results for services the tool cannot access.

Sample playback and HTTP transfers are measured. A website cannot verify another service’s authenticated playback, catalogue, or VPN blocking without access to that service.

Understanding your results

  • Successful sample playback confirms that this sample worked in this browser during the test.
  • Throughput depends on the test route and transfer size. A short result is not a guarantee of sustained high-resolution playback.
  • Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Hulu, Disney+ and Prime Video have their own account, region and access rules. Sample success does not verify those services.
Know the scope

Privacy & important limitations

  • The browser contacts the selected sample-video host; the default video is hosted by MDN.
  • Connection measurements transfer about 3 MB in addition to video traffic. Do not paste private video URLs or links containing account tokens.
Interpret the evidence

Measured findings include their source and scope. An unavailable check is never counted as a pass, a threat or a score.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can this prove that Netflix works with my VPN?

No. You need to sign in and play a title in Netflix. The tool can only measure its sample playback and connection transfers.

Why does the sample fail while my internet works?

The chosen video may be unavailable, use an unsupported format, or be restricted by browser or host policy. Read the observation and try a suitable public HTTPS sample.
