What makes WestNet VPN different from NordVPN, ExpressVPN, or Surfshark?

WestNet owns its own fibre optic network infrastructure in Calgary — a 100 Gbps backbone with direct Verizon AS701 peering. Unlike consumer VPNs that share IPs among thousands of users, WestNet gives you a dedicated IP that is yours alone. Streaming services cannot detect or block dedicated IPs. WestNet has been a CRTC-registered telecommunications carrier since 1996.

How much does WestNet VPN cost?

Plans start at $9.95 CAD/month for a US NAT VPN. Dedicated Calgary IP is $39.99/month (most popular). US Dedicated IP is $40/month. Premium with priority bandwidth is $59.99/month. Corporate plans are $99.99/month. Save with the annual Platinum at $469.99/year (over $250 savings). No contracts on any plan — cancel anytime.

Can I stream Netflix US, Hulu, Disney+, and HBO Max from Canada?

Yes. WestNet's dedicated US IP addresses are never flagged by streaming services because they are not shared. You get full, unrestricted access to Netflix US, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, Paramount+, and all other US streaming platforms from Canada.

Does WestNet VPN unblock TikTok in the US?

Yes. WestNet VPN provides US and Canadian IP addresses that bypass any TikTok regional restrictions or bans. Connect through our servers and access TikTok without limitations from anywhere.

How fast is WestNet VPN compared to other VPN services?

WestNet VPN runs on a dedicated 100 Gbps fibre backbone in Calgary with direct peering to Verizon AS701. Users typically see speeds exceeding 200 Mbps with under 10ms latency within Calgary. Consumer VPN services like NordVPN and ExpressVPN typically add 30-50% latency overhead because they use shared servers.

What devices and protocols does WestNet VPN support?

WestNet VPN works on Windows, Mac, iOS (iPhone, iPad), Android, Linux, and routers — protect your whole household from a single router install. Supported protocols: OpenVPN (with a ready-to-load .ovpn config file you download from your account portal), L2TP/IPsec (built into iPhone, Mac, Windows and Android), and PPTP. Everything is secured with AES-256 encryption, with step-by-step setup guides for every platform and 24/7 Calgary support.

Do I get an OpenVPN config (.ovpn) file?

Yes. As soon as your account is active you can download a ready-to-load OpenVPN .ovpn configuration file from your customer portal. Import it into the free OpenVPN app (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS) or upload it straight into your router, enter your username and password, and connect — there are no server settings to type by hand. OpenVPN uses AES-256 encryption; L2TP/IPsec and PPTP are also available for the VPN client built into most devices.

Is the dedicated IP a real residential IP address?

Yes. Your dedicated IP is a static, public IP on WestNet's own Calgary fibre network — a genuine residential-grade address that has never been used by a shared VPN, so it is not on any VPN blocklist. Streaming services, banks, and games simply see a normal residential connection: no CAPTCHAs, no 'VPN detected' errors, no bans or throttling. Because the IP never changes, you can whitelist it for remote access, hosting, and business use.

Is there a contract or cancellation fee?

No. All WestNet VPN plans are month-to-month with no contracts and no cancellation fees. Sign up online at vpn.westnet.ca and your VPN is activated instantly. No credit check required.

Why is a dedicated IP better than a shared VPN IP?

Shared VPN services cycle thousands of users through a pool of IP addresses. Streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ detect this pattern and block the connection. With WestNet's dedicated IP, your address is uniquely yours — it looks like a normal residential or business connection, so it is never flagged, blocked, or throttled. You also avoid CAPTCHAs and IP blacklists.

Can I use WestNet VPN for competitive gaming?

Yes. WestNet VPN is ideal for competitive gaming with under 10ms latency in Calgary and a 100 Gbps fibre backbone. No jitter, no packet loss. The dedicated IP also prevents IP bans that frequently occur with shared VPN services like NordVPN or Private Internet Access.

Does WestNet VPN work when travelling outside Canada?

Yes. Connect to WestNet's Calgary or US servers from anywhere in the world. Ideal for travellers who need to access Canadian banking (TD, RBC, Scotiabank), streaming (CBC, CTV, TSN), or any other geo-restricted Canadian or US services while abroad.
