Tips for the best experience
🎬 Choose [RD+] sources
Sources marked with [RD+] are already cached on Real-Debrid. These stream instantly without any wait.
📱 Sync across devices
Log into the same Stremio account on all your devices. Your addons and watch history will sync automatically.
🔒 No VPN needed
Real-Debrid streams via encrypted HTTPS. Your ISP only sees traffic to Real-Debrid servers, not the content.
⚡ Use one IP
Real-Debrid allows one IP at a time. All devices on your home network share one IP, so you can use it on multiple devices at home.
