VolnaLink VPN runs high-speed servers in a Frankfurt data center — the largest networking hub in Europe (DE-CIX). Connecting gives you a German IP address and an encrypted tunnel with minimal ping to most European servers. Ideal for watching German TV from abroad and a fast, private connection to international services.
Benefits of a German VPN server
- Ultra-low European ping. Frankfurt is the European backbone hub. Ping to Moscow 25-40 ms, to Paris 8-12 ms, to London 12-18 ms.
- GDPR on your side. A server physically located in Germany falls under European GDPR — the strictest personal data protection standard in the world.
- 10 Gbps speed. 4K streaming, online gaming, Zoom video calls — without buffering.
- No logs. We don't store your IP, the sites you visit, session timings or traffic volume.
What you watch with a German IP
Connecting to a Frankfurt server gives you access to German streaming libraries:
- ARD Mediathek — German public broadcasting, Tagesschau news, drama, documentaries.
- ZDF Mediathek — second public channel, political shows, sports.
- RTL+ — German streaming, Bauer sucht Frau, Germany's Next Topmodel.
- ProSieben Joyn — movies, TV Total talk show.
- Sky Deutschland — Bundesliga, English Premier League, Champions League.
- YouTube without GEMA blocks — many music videos are blocked in Germany over GEMA disputes. With a German IP you'll see the German version (some videos return, others get blocked — switch country if needed).
- Netflix Germany — German library, German dubs and subtitles.
- DAZN Germany — sports broadcasts with German commentary.
Why you need a VPN for Germany
Access German TV from abroad. If you're a German on business travel or an expat from Ukraine/Russia living in Germany visiting home, many Mediatheken (ARD, ZDF, RTL+) block access from foreign IPs. A German VPN server restores access.
Privacy from Vorratsdatenspeicherung. German ISPs must retain connection metadata for at least 10 weeks. A VPN encrypts traffic, so the ISP only sees a connection to a VPN server — without details of which sites you visit.
Public Wi-Fi safety. Free Wi-Fi on Deutsche Bahn, in airports, in cafés is a common attack target. A VPN encrypts the whole connection automatically.
