The Wachee icon is on only when the extension is connected and you are on one of the four streaming websites that Wachee supports (Netflix, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, ITV). So if your icon is marked as off, make sure that you are connected to Wachee and that you are on the right website.

First, install Wachee on your Chrome browser. Open the Wachee extension. You can either use our 10-day trial by submitting your email address and verifying it, use our Free Mode by clicking on “Not Now,” or buy our premium service.

Click on the Wachee icon right by your address bar. Click on “Enter Your Email” and after entering your email address, click on “Send Me a Magic Link.” A verification email will be sent to your email address. Verify your email through the Magic Link and your extension is ready to use. If you want to use our Free Mode, you can click on “Not Now” on the first page of the extension.

Wachee is passwordless. Meaning you only need to access your email to sign in to your account. You type your email in the extension, click on “Send Me a Magic Link” and you verify your email from the link sent to you and it’s done.

You can extend your free trial by inviting your friends to use Wachee. You will both get an additional 10 days on your free trial.

When Wachee is enabled, no website on the internet is affected except the 4 mentioned streaming services.

To change your submitted email address, open the extension, open the menu from the top left corner and click on the “x” in front of your current email. You are now signed out of your account. Now you can enter your new email. If you are a subscribed user, you should cancel the subscription and subscribe with the new email address. If you have any issue, please contact us: Support@Wachee.co

In Free Mode, only one device can use Wachee. Upon buying our Premium service, an unlimited number of devices can simultaneously connect to Wachee with one email.

This problem can occur when you have other proxy extensions installed at the same time. You can check which extension is controlling your proxy settings by going to chrome://settings/?search=proxy in Chrome. If Wachee is controlling this setting you will see something like this:
If another extension is controlling this setting, you should disable it for Wachee to work.

If this does not solve your problem, it might be an issue on our side. We will make sure it’s resolved as fast as possible.

Wachee is an exclusive VPN for streaming and only supports the famous streaming services that are listed here. Wachee does not affect any other website’s traffic.

Please make sure that your internet speed is fast enough because Wachee will not boost your internet speed.
If you are using our Free Mode, your video quality is SD, and we do not guarantee the speed of Free Mode.
Our 10-day trial is in HD quality, meaning you have better quality than in Free Mode.
Wachee Premium has the best quality possible for streaming, UHD quality.

Note: If you are a Premium user but you still have problems in your connection or quality, you might be too far from our nearest server. Please let us know by sending an email about your problem and mentioning the country you’re accessing Wachee from. Contact us at Support@Wachee.co

Since 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 this problem.
But if it doesn’t, maybe Wachee’s US servers are under maintenance or Netflix has blocked our services. Please pay attention to our service updates and contact us if it isn’t solved after a day.

Since BBC iPlayer’s ban detector is more advanced than other streaming services, it’s a bit harder to bypass it.
Try disconnecting and reconnecting Wachee. That might solve the problem. But if it doesn’t, take the following steps:

1. Close BBC iPlayer.
2. Disconnect the Wachee extension.
3. Open BBC iPlayer and close it again. (to clear the website cache)
4. Connect Wachee.
5. Open BBC iPlayer and reload the page multiple times (4 to 5 times) and then stream as usual.

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.

Wachee has 2 plans: Free Mode, which you can always use (but has low quality) and a Premium plan which you have to pay for and has the best quality possible. If you want to enjoy streaming in high quality we recommend you our low-cost premium service.

Yes, Wachee has a 10-day free trial you can use.

Once your trial period is finished you have two options:

1. You can buy our Premium service and enjoy streaming with UHD quality.
2. You can downgrade your account and use our Free Mode with SD quality.

For comparison see our Plans.

Note: Trial users will be downgraded to Free Mode if they don’t have a subscription to our premium service.

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.
