Canal+ won't load, shows an error, or keeps buffering while VPN Super is connected? This guide covers the most common causes, steps to try, and what to do if a channel is missing from your subscription.
Why isn't Canal+ working with my VPN?
- The server you're on is busy during a high-traffic window, such as a big live match
- Canal+ is detecting VPN traffic and limiting playback
- The Canal+ app is still using an old connection from before you connected
What can I try if Canal+ isn't working with my VPN?
- Update the VPN Super app to the latest version. Open the app and check for an update notification on the home screen. If you don't see one, update it on the App Store or Play Store, or download the latest version.
- Switch to a Premium server. Premium servers are built for streaming. If you don't have a Premium subscription yet, you can upgrade here. If a channel won't start on your current server, switch to a different one.
- Try the browser instead of the app. Open canalplus.com in Chrome or Safari with VPN Super connected and sign in.
- Refresh your connection. Disconnect and reconnect VPN Super, then quit the Canal+ app and reopen it so it uses the new VPN session. In a browser, close and reopen the tab, or clear your browser cache.
Note: If your browser asks to share your location with canalplus.com, don't allow it. If you've already allowed it, you can remove that permission in your browser settings.
Channel missing from your Canal+ subscription?
The channels you can watch on Canal+ depend on your subscription. Check your subscription in your Canal+ account, and make sure you're signed in with that account. If a channel you pay for still won't play, try another channel, then sign out and back in after step 4.
Canal+ buffering or low quality with VPN?
If Canal+ loads but keeps buffering or drops to a lower quality, the cause is usually connection speed rather than the server.
Run a speed test at speedtest.net with VPN Super connected. If your speed is low, try these:
- Switch to a server closer to you. A shorter distance usually means faster speeds. Compare servers using the ms latency value in the location list.
- Switch from mobile data to Wi-Fi. A stable Wi-Fi connection can give more reliable playback.
If your speed is fine but buffering continues, work through steps 1 to 3 above.
Watching Canal+ on a TV?
Most of the steps above also apply on Apple TV and Android TV. For TV-specific troubleshooting, see How to fix common issues on Apple TV or How to fix common issues on Android TV.
