There are a ton of reasons that we can think of on why we needto binge watch our favorite shows on television right now especially in this current time.
We all have been given strict instructions to stay at home, self-isolate and keep quarantined. There can be no better reason to watch movies, series, documentaries, and reality TV shows on a platform as famous for it, likeNetflix. According to the statistics, there are almost over 180 million subscribers to this platform world-wide. You can dive into this information further on this recommended site here.
Streaming platforms like Netflix has a service that provides us the option of watching television shows, movies, series, and documentaries – you name it, and they provide it. All types of genres from comedies to action and thrillers and for all ages too. With so much choice it’s no wonder everyone wants to have a piece of that pie (especially now).
Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to able to stream this program in their countries. For instance, China, North Korea, Crimea, and Syria do not have it due to their government regulations. But there is hope to those who desperately want an alternative option other than scrolling through their Instagram feed, streaming videos on YouTube or buying DVDs (do people still do that?).
We have the perfect solution for you, so keep reading.
What Is a VPN (Virtual Private Network)?
This software enables anyone to have their own private network, which allows them to mask your IP address turning any public network into a private one. This helps when you’re doing any confidential work so that it makes it a more secure with undetected connection.They tend to work better than private or secured Wi-Fi hotspots due to the heightened privacy option.
It is often used when making transactions of a sensitive nature or surfing the web for an important organization.The option of using a VPN can be very handy. Feel free to add further expand this information about this interesting ‘notion’ into your thought library from this online source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network. Many people use public places to do their worksuch as open offices or coffee shops and libraries that offer a wi-fi connection, but it may not necessarily be secured, hence this option works best in these situations.
Netflix Blocks Your VPN
It turns out that Netflix can block any VPNsit detects. When it finds out that you are connected to one, it sends you a message to let you know that you are connected to an unblocking service or a proxy. Because the content that the service provider shows varies from one region to the other you may not typically be able to stream any TV shows or programs offered on it. They would ask you to disable it. However, we have a better way.
In the likelihood that you belong to a country that does not air recent episodes or movies of a certain choice and you have a keen interest in watching Netflix from other countries, below are a few steps you can follow in getting yourself a VPN and how to use it correctly.
Let’s face it, sometimes movies or series from other countries are ten times better than the ones we get in our country, or we may just not get any for that matter.
1. First, choose a good Netflix VPN. There are tons of different types when you search online.
2. Then install the client application on your devices – smartphones or Computer. Once you have registered and set it up, you have a choice of different “apps” where you can look for the correct software for your device – mac, android, iOS to name a few.
3. Connect to the server in the country of your choice. If you want Canada for example, you will need to connect to the Canadian server.
That’s pretty much it. You’re all set to watch Netflix from other countries and you can access your VPN from almost all of the 190 countries that this service provider is available. Now that’s going to keep you busy for the next year!
In a similar fashion on how you swap your region when you are in your home country, you can do it from another country too. For example, if you’re on holiday or a business trip for a couple of days or weeks. It will be the same steps as above. Netflix will not want anyone to do this due to their license agreements, however, there have been no public announcements of people getting penalized for it. So, its more of a – use at your own risk, kind of scenario.
This service provider is so popular that in the end, it will be a win-win for both the company and the user. The more people willwatch it on their platform, the more famous it gets and the wider the reach.
