How Does a VPN Unblock Spotify?

If you’re traveling to a region where Spotify is blocked, you can connect to a VPN server in a country where it’s unrestricted to change your digital location.

A VPN can also help you bypass Spotify blocks at work or school. It encrypts your internet traffic so the network can’t monitor or control your online activity.

How to Change Your Region on Spotify

How to Change Your Region on Spotify

Unless you’re physically in a different country, the best way to change your location on Spotify is with a VPN.

On the PIA VPN app, simply choose a country from the server list and connect. Then, on the same device, go to Spotify’s website in your browser and log in (you can’t edit your location details on the app). In the Account section, go to Edit profile and change the region to the same country you set on your VPN.

If you’re traveling abroad and using a free Spotify account, after 14 days, you’ll have to change your account settings to the country you’re in. Alternatively, you can use a VPN to connect to a server in your home country.

If you have a Premium account, you can travel for longer than 14 days without having to change your region settings. If you do want to change your region, your payment method will have to be PayPal, a Spotify eGift card, or a local credit or debit card for that country.

Why Is Spotify Blocked?

Spotify is currently blocked in 15 countries. Some of these countries censor Spotify to limit citizens' exposure to information and culture through music, podcasts, and audiobooks. In other countries, Spotify can’t offer its service due to economic sanctions.

A much more common reason why Spotify may be blocked is local network monitoring. In this case, an intentional block on Spotify is meant to prevent distractions or conserve bandwidth. This is common in schools, universities, and offices, and on public Wi-Fi.

FAQ

Yes, using a VPN service complies with the Spotify Terms and Conditions of Use.

When you use PIA as your Spotify VPN, you can enjoy a smooth connection that won’t slow down your music.

Keep in mind that using a VPN doesn't exempt you in case you break any of Spotify's rules. It’s always a good idea to read through the terms of service before you connect.

Start by launching PIA VPN and connecting to a VPN server in your preferred country. Then, on the same device, log in to your Spotify account through a web browser — this function isn’t available via the app.

Once you’re logged in, go to the Edit Profile section on the Account menu, and modify your location in the Country or Region box. If you have a Premium account, you’ll need to pay with PayPal or a local payment method for your new region. In any case, you should be able to listen to your favorite music in seconds.

Spotify is available in 180+ markets, and there are substantial cost differences between them. You can use a VPN to compare prices between different countries and get the best deals online.

If you’re not in Turkey, connect to one of our VPN servers in Turkey. Then, open your Spotify account via a web browser. In the Account section, go to Edit profile and change the Country or region to Turkey. The country should be changed right away, but you might need to wait an hour or so to see local content recommendations for Turkey on your Spotify.

Note that if you have a Spotify Premium plan, you’ll have to pay with a Turkish payment method or PayPal if you plan on using Turkey as your region for more than 14 days.

Your VPN IP address might be blocked. To solve this, try disconnecting and reconnecting to get a new IP address or connecting to a different VPN server and changing the VPN protocol. You can also clear cookies and cache on your browser or device to remove old location data.

If you’re still having difficulties, it might be time for a new VPN. PIA VPN is optimized to work seamlessly with Spotify, ensuring you can enjoy your music without interruptions.

Some schools and workplaces block Spotify to increase productivity or conserve bandwidth. Some public Wi-Fi networks may also block streaming apps like Spotify to save on bandwidth usage.

To get around these restrictions and access the music you love wherever you are, connect to one of our VPN servers. PIA encrypts your internet traffic so no one can see what you’re doing online. This lets you easily bypass firewalls.

Most free VPNs don’t work well with Spotify. Limited server locations means overcrowded servers and slow speeds, which makes it hard to listen to music smoothly. In addition, many free VPNs impose daily or monthly data caps, so you won’t be able to stream on Spotify for very long or download many tracks to your device.

PIA is a premium VPN that’s optimized to work seamlessly with services like Spotify. We have a fast VPN global server network in 91 countries and an unlimited data caps policy.
