Remember to cancel any subscriptions, spend your balance, and wait for pending transactions to clear before attempting to change your country or region. For more details, check out the guide from ZoogVPN or Apple support to change your Apple Store regions with ease.
You can change the country in Google Play Store by following these steps.
Important: You can change your Google Play country or region only once per year. After setting or updating your country or region, you’ll need to wait 12 months before making another change. To switch to a new country or region, you must have a payment method from that location.
For any issues please refer to Google forum.
A DNS leak occurs when your device uses your ISP’s DNS servers instead of the secure DNS servers provided by your VPN, potentially exposing your online activity. To ensure your connection is private and secure, it’s important to check for DNS leaks while connected to ZoogVPN.
Here’s how you can test for DNS leaks:
If you detect a DNS leak, it’s crucial to address the issue to maintain your privacy. Follow the step-by-step guide provided on our DNS leak fix page to resolve the problem effectively.
We at ZoogVPN provide secure DNS servers and leak prevention measures, so you can enjoy a truly private browsing experience. Remember to perform regular tests to ensure your connection remains secure.
To test for IPV6 leak, please visit ip6.nl. If it says ‘No IPv6 connectivity’, then you’re fine! Your IPv6 traffic is not leaking. Otherwise, consider disabling it on your device as follows:
1. Windows: support.microsoft.com
2. Mac: support.apple.com
Totally! With exception of a Free Plan. Unlike our competitors, we pride our selves on providing our clients with guaranteed unlimited bandwidth and data transfer for the entire duration of a valid premium plan subscription. Please see our Terms of Service for the prohibited types of online activities.
No, the price of a ZoogVPN plan covers only the cost of the VPN service. ZoogVPN is an independent service provider and is not affiliated with streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, or any other online services. Our plans provide you with the tools to securely and privately access these services, but the subscription fees for streaming platforms, social media services, or other online platforms are separate and must be paid directly to those providers. ZoogVPN ensures a secure, anonymous, and unrestricted online experience, but the content access depends on your active subscriptions to those external services.
Prior to connecting to VPN, a minimum of 2.5 Mbps is required to be able to stream online media content. We strongly recommend at least 5 Mbps for high quality streaming with at least 7 Mbps for HD streaming. The recommended Internet speed requirements take into account a small drop (about 20%) of speed while connected to VPN allocated for encryption through the VPN tunnel and the distance from VPN server.
Instantly! As soon as you sign up for Zoog VPN account your subscription becomes immediately active so you can start accessing any online services such as BBC iPlayer, Netflix, ITV Hub, Hulu, Pandora and Spotify. In short you can access online services of any country on our VPN Network.
VPN performance primarily depends on your internet connection speed, not the VPN provider. However, your internet service provider (ISP) can detect that you’re using a VPN, including the VPN server’s IP address, connection duration, and data usage.
To stream BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub from anywhere, follow these simple steps:
Once connected, you can watch without any issues. For detailed guides, check:
No, ZoogVPN does not keep any logs. We collect only your email address for account management, communication, and subscription purposes. While we do record the total amount of traffic consumed for account accounting, such as managing free account limits; this is a general figure and cannot be linked to specific activities or destinations. ZoogVPN is headquartered in privacy-friendly Greece, outside the 14-Eyes alliance, ensuring no user data is subject to international data-sharing agreements. Even under pressure from authorities, we cannot share what we don’t have. For more details, visit our privacy policy. You can discover more about the no-logs and the privacy policy we adhere to here.
ZoogVPN collects only your email address for account management, communication, and subscription purposes. While we do not store or log any online activity, IP addresses, or detailed usage data, we do record the total amount of traffic consumed. This is solely for account accounting purposes, such as managing free account limits. It’s significant to mention that we do not track or analyze how or where this data is used. All information is encrypted and used strictly to provide our services. For more details, discover our privacy policy.
Yes, using a VPN is entirely legal. You have the right to protect and encrypt your internet connection, ensuring your online activities remain private. Just as you use an envelope to protect the contents of your letters, a VPN safeguards your internet traffic from being tracked by others.
ZoogVPN takes your privacy seriously and operates under a strict no-logs policy. This means we do not store any information about our users or their online activities on our servers. Since we retain no logs, it is impossible for us to identify or provide any details about an active or former user, even in response to a court order.
Thus, our service is based in a privacy-friendly jurisdiction that does not oblige us to collect or share user data. While we regularly receive various requests for user information, our consistent response is simple: there is no data to provide.
For full transparency, we maintain a Warrant Canary page, documenting all appeals and our responses. You can view it here.
Simply put, your provider can’t track what you do online while using a VPN. Your ISP can identify the IP address of the VPN server you’re connected to, which may reveal that you’re using a VPN. However, it cannot monitor your online activity, such as the websites you visit, files you download, or any other actions you take on the internet, as all your data is securely encrypted.
To access many popular streaming services you will require ZoogVPN Premium Plan. If you’re on a desktop device please use Firefox or Safari to access iPlayer via BBC website. Also to ensure continous access to streaming services please use their proprietary apps e.g. BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub and Netflix apps.

When you run ZoogVPN, Windows prompts for permission because it requires administrator access. This security feature protects your system. If you find it inconvenient, you can disable these prompts:
Please keep in mind: Disabling UAC notifications lowers your system’s security level. Only do this if you trust all applications on your PC and are comfortable managing your system’s safety manually.

Zoog VPN offers both subscription-based and one-time payment options, tailored to meet
Subscription-based payments are typically made via mobile apps (such as App Store and Google Play), as well as platforms like Stripe and PayPal. These cover standard plans such as monthly, yearly, and multi-year subscriptions. They are designed for convenience, automatically renewing at the end of each billing cycle to ensure uninterrupted service. The renewal charges are processed using the payment method on file unless canceled beforehand. The auto-renewal feature ensures continuous VPN protection.
Non-subscription payments apply to one-time payment plans made through other payment methods. They provide service for a fixed period without automatic renewal, offering more flexibility for users who prefer not to commit to recurring charges. Once the service period ends, access to ZoogVPN premium features will expire unless manually renewed.
You can easily manage your subscription within the app’s settings of the dashboard, covering upgrades, downgrades, or cancellations. Our support team is always available to assist with any payment-related questions – reach out to [email protected].

Simply uninstalling the app or deleting your account will not stop recurring payments – you must cancel the subscription through the appropriate platform.
