South Africa streaming compatibility
Tested against the platforms locals actually watch
SABC+ and Showmax run detection systems separate from international platforms, so our Johannesburg servers are checked against them directly rather than assumed to work by default. AlongsideNetflix's South African catalogue, we regularly re-verify compatibility with DStv Stream, since these platforms can update their blocking rules without notice. Streaming-tagged status reflects servers we prioritize re-testing after any known change.
Privacy under South African law
Why our South Africa servers still keep no logs
South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) sets baseline privacy standards, and our ownno-logs policyapplies uniformly regardless of local requirements. APEX VPN's South African servers store no connection logs, browsing history, or activity timestamps, confirmed through independentSecurity Auditsrather than left as an unverified claim. Pairing a Johannesburg server with ourencryption standardskeeps your traffic private end to end.
