Eight scenarios · with deep links

When a VPN earns
its keep.

Eight situations where Planet Proxy quietly does its job — streaming a show you already pay for, banking from a hotel, filing a story from the field. Click any chip to jump straight in; the URL updates so you can share it.

Use case 01 / 09

Watch home, from anywhere.

Geo-blocks treat you like a tourist. Planet Proxy gives you back the content you already pay for — no buffering, no resolution dip.

  • Unblock home libraries on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, BBC iPlayer
  • 4K-grade throughput with WireGuard — no slow VPN tax
  • many countries, dozens of cities — the closest one is automatic
  • No "VPN detected" walls on supported platforms

Pro tip · Smart Auto-Connect picks the closest server with the lowest latency for streaming — usually the same metro you live in when you're abroad.

Use case 02 / 09

Your internet, in your suitcase.

Hotel networks are a leaky boat. Connect through a Planet Proxy station and you arrive on the internet exactly where you started.

  • Skip captive-portal nuisance, throttling, and forced ad-injection
  • Keep your banking, dating, and messaging apps "in your home country"
  • Encrypted on every airport, café, train, and cruise-ship Wi-Fi
  • Auto-Connect on untrusted networks — set it and forget it

Pro tip · Turn on "Auto-Connect on untrusted networks" in the app once. From then on, the moment you leave home Wi-Fi the tunnel comes up — you'll never see the captive portal again.

Use case 03 / 09

Untrusted networks, made boring.

Open Wi-Fi at a café, airport, or library is a shared room with the lights off. The tunnel lets you whisper instead of shout.

  • AES-256-GCM / ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption — same primitives as banks
  • Kill switch — if the tunnel drops, your data drops too
  • DNS leak-proof — queries never escape to the café's router
  • Hides domains, search terms, and credentials from local snoopers

Pro tip · Pair with a password manager and 2FA. The VPN protects the wire; the manager protects the doors at either end.

Use case 04 / 09

Report from where the story is.

Reporters, researchers, and activists work where casual surveillance is the default. The tunnel takes the address off the envelope.

  • Obfuscated mode bypasses DPI and protocol fingerprinting
  • Multi-hop chains (up to 4 jurisdictions) for sensitive sources
  • Audited no-logs policy — court orders return nothing because nothing is kept
  • Panama-domiciled, no mandatory data retention

Pro tip · Combine multi-hop with Tor over VPN for high-stakes filings. Slower, but the entry point only sees the proxy, and the exit doesn't see you.

Use case 05 / 09

Money traffic on a private line.

Banks already use TLS — but the network around it leaks behavioural metadata: which bank, when, how often, from where. The tunnel hides the pattern.

  • Dedicated IP add-on — your bank sees the same address every time
  • No "log-in from new location" fraud flags when travelling
  • Encrypted DNS — even the bank's domain is hidden from local networks
  • Kill switch protects in-flight transfer if Wi-Fi dies mid-session

Pro tip · Reserve one of your six device slots for "banking only" on a dedicated IP. Keep the rest on rotating exits — best of both worlds.

Use case 06 / 09

Lower ping, fewer interruptions.

A surprising amount of latency comes from your ISP's middle-mile routing — not the distance. A better backbone often beats a closer server.

  • Bypass ISP route-shaping that adds avoidable hops
  • Sub-10 ms median handshake; AmneziaWG for stealth on locked networks
  • DDoS protection on dedicated IP — keep your stream from getting nuked
  • Access regional servers, leagues, and early game launches

Pro tip · Turn off P2P/Torrent mode while gaming — its hardened seedboxes prioritise throughput over latency.

Use case 07 / 09

Office-grade trust, on hotel Wi-Fi.

Working from somewhere that isn't your office? Your company's tools assume the network underneath is yours. Make it yours.

  • Dedicated IPs and SCIM provisioning on the Bureau plan
  • Audit logs and SSO-friendly access controls
  • Reliable on poor hotel/airport Wi-Fi — handshake retries are seamless
  • Split tunnelling: route work apps through, leave streaming local

Pro tip · Create a "work" profile in the app with split-tunnel rules so only your work domains and Slack/Zoom go through — Netflix stays on your local IP.

Bureau plan →
Use case 08 / 09

P2P, without the paperwork.

Legitimate P2P — Linux ISOs, video editing collaboration, public-domain archives — gets ISP letters anyway. Hardened seedboxes route around the friction.

  • P2P-optimised stations in privacy-friendly jurisdictions
  • No throttling, no traffic shaping, no ISP nasty-grams
  • Port forwarding on dedicated IP for healthy seeding ratios
  • Kill switch ensures peers never see your real IP

Pro tip · Use the P2P / Torrenting mode profile — it routes only your torrent client through the optimised seedbox and leaves your browser on a normal exit.

Use case 09 / 09

Give your agents a clean exit.

AI agents hit rate limits, bot walls, and geo-blocks the moment they touch the live web. Route their requests through our multi-region exit network for clean, location-aware access. Now in private beta.

  • Fetch any URL through a specific region — the page a local user would see
  • A dead-simple API, or an MCP tool your agent calls on its own
  • Per-key access with usage metering and rate limits
  • Runs on its own pool — never touches the consumer no-logs guarantee

Pro tip · Best for geo-access and clean public fetches on datacenter IPs — not bulk scraping of hardened sites (that needs residential IPs we don't offer yet). We'd rather tell you than oversell it.
