Shut down DDoS attacks by masking your IP. Riftline also ships 256-bit AES, leak protection, a kill switch, and split tunneling.
Enjoy unlimited, premium bandwidth. Cut ping and lag with servers in 94 countries.
Stop your ISP from slowing your connection. With a VPN, traffic can't be inspected, so your bandwidth won't be throttled.
Grab DLC and launches from early-release regions. Play titles even if they're blocked where you are.*
Whether you play on a console, handheld, desktop, tablet, or phone, Riftline has you covered.
No matter where you are on the map, switch your region and drop in with friends.*
A gaming VPN, or virtual private network, is an encrypted tunnel between your gaming device and the open internet. Playing online through one can steady your speed, hold your frame-time flat, shield you from DDoS attacks, and keep your ISP from throttling the session.
How to gamewith Riftline
Ping, or latency, is the time it takes for information—in this case, packets of data—to travel from your machine to a game server and back again. It is measured in milliseconds, so the lower the ping number, the faster the connection.
Shorter routes between your device and the game server reduce the delay between your input and what happens on screen. Connecting to a Riftline location near the match server shortens that route, which is why regional server choice matters more than raw download speed.
Whether you're clearing demons in deep space, building strange new worlds from scratch, or dragging your team into the playoffs, get more out of the titles you already play. With lower ping, Riftline makes it easier to queue with friends anywhere in the world, at any hour.

Riftline ships plain-spoken apps for every major platform. Alternatively, the Riftline firmware for supported routers secures every device on your network, including consoles that can't install a VPN directly. If you're using a console for live or on-demand video, Riftline's bundled StreamRoute service keeps the picture clean with no buffering—though it does not offer the privacy and other benefits of a VPN.

Much like streaming platforms, cloud gaming services run the game on a remote machine and send you the frames, across a range of compatible devices. That sidesteps the need for a high-end rig—which means more titles regardless of what hardware you own. Riftline is a natural upgrade for cloud sessions on any platform you play on.

Free proxy services aren't a fit for playing online—they don't carry the privacy and security guarantees of a paid VPN. Many don't work as advertised, some resell your traffic, and most leave your network wide open.

A single Riftline subscription lets you download a VPN for every popular platform. Need a VPN for multiple devices? Set Riftline up on everything you own, and run it on ten at the same time.
Look at three things before price: how close the server list sits to the regions you queue in, whether the provider publishes an independent audit, and whether its protocol was written for low latency rather than bulk transfer. Riftline runs Skiplink in 94 countries and posts audit results in the Trust Center.
Install the app on the device you play on, sign in, and pick a location near the match server—not near you. On consoles that can't run apps, flash Riftline to a supported router and the whole network is covered.
The best one is the one with a server close to your lobby and enough headroom that encryption never becomes the bottleneck. Riftline was built around both, and every plan covers ten devices at once.
VPNs are legal in most countries. That said, using one to change your apparent region may still breach a publisher's terms of service, so check the rules of the title you play before you switch locations.
A VPN can't create bandwidth you don't have. What it can do is route around congested peering and stop an ISP from shaping your traffic—both of which often read as "faster" in a match.
Many do, mostly for protection rather than speed. Streamers and ranked players are common DDoS targets, and masking the IP behind a VPN removes the easiest way to knock someone offline mid-series.
* While you can use a VPN to change your apparent location while gaming or streaming, doing so may violate copyright or infringe upon the content provider's Terms of Use and the Riftline Terms of Service. As a privacy and security tool, Riftline is designed so that no one can see or control what you do when connected to our VPN service—not even us. So you are responsible for verifying that your use complies with all relevant terms and laws.
@riftline I finally got the service I needed for gaming 10/10 across every platform, honestly worth it for the ranked queue alone!
Wow, @riftline thank you for the stable connection — I can stream and play with barely any hitching on a rural line now.
First #vpn to actually pull that off for me.
Yep. Fastest VPN I've run to date. I don't even bother switching it off for ranked anymore. You stop noticing it's on.
