Contact us at
Support@Wachee.coSince Wachee only tunnels specific streaming services traffic, no it won't slow down your whole connection. But for those streaming services, it might slow them down a little since their data is being rerouted through a server outside your country.
In some cases restarting the Chrome browser might solve the problem.
If Netflix / Hulu does not open:
- First, make sure that your Wachee extension is connected.
- If Wachee is connected but you still can't open the site, try hard-reloading your streaming website by pressing Ctrl/Command + Shift + R or by holding the Shift button and clicking on the Reload button.
- If that doesn't work either, you can try restarting your chrome. You can do so by going to the browser address bar, typing chrome://restart, and pressing the Enter key.
(You can restore your last session by pressing Ctrl/Command + Shift + T)
If you encountered Netflix / Hulu proxy error:
Try disconnecting and reconnecting Wachee. That might solve the problem. But if it doesn't, take the following steps:
- Close Netflix / Hulu.
- Disconnect the Wachee extension.
- Open Netflix / Hulu and close it again. (to clear the website cache)
- Connect Wachee.
- Open Netflix / Hulu and stream as usual.
If you encounter this error in Netflix, disable any proxy or ad blocker extension you have other than Wachee and restart Chrome by typing chrome://restart into your address bar. Also, make sure that your Wachee extension is the latest version.
Absolutely. Wachee is highly secure because it has no access to the websites you open or any other website that you login or use banking information. Wachee only tunnels Netflix's traffic. Also, all Netflix traffic is completely encrypted using the latest SSL technology stack so there is no way anyone can access your data.
Since Wachee is a VPN made specifically for streaming websites, all our resources are being used to make your streaming experience perfect. The most important thing for us is streaming. That's why our streaming quality is much better than any other premium VPNs.
At the moment, Wachee only has a Chrome extension that is available on desktop browsers. We are planning to design an app for both Windows and Mac.
At the moment, Wachee only has an Android app but, we are planning to design an app for iOS devices as well.
Note: You can help us test our iOS app by installing Test Flight through this
link. After installing Test Flight, send us your iCloud email address to
support@wachee.co and mention that you want to be a tester for our iOS app. After that, you will receive an email from Apple with a link for Test Flight. By opening that link you can install Wachee Beta on your iPhone / iPad and you can test Wachee.
In Wachee's latest update, we block WebRTC protocols so we won't have IP leaks. You should give permission to Chrome for this to happen.
Technically, yes. But Wachee is different from other VPNs. It only works on specific streaming websites. So you can browse other websites on your Chrome, but Wachee will not be activated because it only works on Netflix and Hulu.
We ensure you that we never log browsing history, traffic destination, data content, or DNS queries. You can read more about our privacy policies at
https://wachee.co/privacy.
Wachee has thousands of IPs available for users. Since Wachee is a streaming-specific VPN, there is no need for a lot of servers. But we have more than enough servers in each country we support and a few servers around the globe.
Wachee is streaming-exclusive, unlike other VPNs that slow down your internet speed, so you will have a better experience while surfing the web. There is no need to search for servers that work on Netflix, each and every one of Wachee's servers unblock Netflix faster than any other VPN. And last but not least, Wachee is the only VPN that unblocks Netflix for free, without any credit card info and without even signing up.
Our main servers are located in Europe, the US, and Canada. But you cannot manually choose a server to connect to. But don't worry, Wachee is smart and it automatically chooses the best servers for your location. We have servers on other continents as well so users from every country can stream US Netflix with the best quality possible.
