Have you ever had your heart set on the latest movies or TV shows that you might have come across on YouTube, Facebook or just any random add? But then, you see that they’re only available on Netflix, and it’s not easily available from where you’re located. The sad fact is there are many top grade streaming services available online, but not every one of them is available outside the US and its territories.
So what do you do then? How do you jet across the many restrictions and get your hands on Netflix? You should know that just because Netflix isn’t available where you’re located, doesn’t mean you can’t access them.
The good news is, there’s a way for you to access not just Netflix, but many of its libraries, and that’s by using a VPN. A VPN is the one-stop solution to most of your streaming issues and more. It offers online protection from your Internet Service Provider, the government and even protects you from online attacks.
Where streaming is concerned, a VPN will allow you to connect to a US IP server to blend your IP address with one from the United States. In this way, you’ll be able to sign up and access the US Netflix library.
Don’t worry about spending extra since there are many cheap VPN services that offer the best features and a large server network.
So, how do you access Netflix? Here’s what you should do:
- First, subscribe to the best VPN service that offers multiple US servers. (To subscribe to it, you’ll have to create your account by providing an email, a password and choose a payment package/method)
- Once that’s out of the way, download and install the VPN on a supported Netflix device. It can be your Android or iOS smartphone, a Smart TV, Firestick, Windows, etc.
- Launch the VPN app, and sign into your account.
- You’ll see a number of servers added on the VPN. Connect to a US one since you’re trying to access the US Netflix library or the app as a whole, depending on where you’re located.
- Toggle with the settings, depending on which protocol you prefer using (OpenVPN or IPsec is recommended)
- Hit the connect button
- Open the Netflix app, or launch it on your browser
- Sign into your Netflix account
- And start streaming!
Once you connect to a US server, you’ll automatically be signed into the US Netflix library. For instance, if you’re living in India, you’ll probably only have access to the Indian Netflix library. Once you connect to a VPN, and connect to a US server, close the Netflix app, refresh the page and sign in again. You should see unlimited US movies, TV shows, and documentaries.
