Netflix is a streaming service that has taken the world by storm. Its popularity has risen massively in recent years, rendering movie rental businesses such as Blockbuster irrelevant in our modern society. Classic movie rental businesses that rented physical media such as CDs and DVDs are now obsolete

Netflix has become a worldwide phenomenon, and the amount of Netflix users has only increased thanks to the global pandemic of 2020. However, you might find that some shows are not available on your version of Netflix.

Netflix has different content available depending on where you are in the world. A VPN can allow you to find new shows to watch if you use it to change your IP address to a new location. Read on to find out how to use a VPN.

 

Why Are Netflix Shows Different Worldwide?


Netflix shows will differ depending on which country you are in. While many fans have complained endlessly about this, there is actually a good reason behind it. Netflix is very strict on which shows can be streamed in which countries.

This is because most movies and TV shows have licenses. Some of these licenses are not valid worldwide, which means that Netflix is limited to streaming these movies or series in the specific countries that the license allows them to.

Netflix uses geo-blocking, also known as geographical blocking to ensure that movies and series can’t be accessed from specific locations. They can determine your location by using the IP address that you are connecting from.

An IP address is a unique identifier and one of its main jobs is to provide websites with your physical location. However, luckily for us, there is a way that you can change your IP address and trick the website into thinking that you are accessing it from somewhere else.

 

How Can You Access Different Netflix Shows?


If you want to access new Netflix shows you will need to change your IP address. You can do this by using a premium VPN, or virtual private network. Changing your IP address, and therefore also your ‘location’ is as simple as connecting to one of several global servers.

VPN software has several global servers that you can connect to. Often these are in different countries or cities around the world. This will vary depending on which premium VPN vendor you have decided to go with. Connecting to one of these will change your IP address to make it seem like you are connecting to the internet from that country.

VPNs are often used to access new entertainment content. For example, if you are in the UK and you would like to access American Netflix to watch the latest movies and TV shows, you can connect to a global server in New York. Once you’re connected, you will have full access to the American version of Netflix.

 

How to Install a VPN


VPNs are readily available, and installing one on your device is incredibly easy. The use of VPNs has increased significantly in recent years. Follow the quick step-by-step guide below to get a VPN installed on your device and stream new movies and series on Netflix:

Why You Should Avoid a Free VPN


You might come across some free VPNs while you’re looking for the perfect VPN to use with Netflix. It might be tempting to use one of these free VPNs, however, it’s not recommended. Free VPNs come with several drawbacks that will affect your streaming experience, we’ve listed them for you below;

  • Free VPNs have slower connection speeds. This means that you will experience a lot of buffering and lag while you’re streaming your shows.

  • Free VPNs have a daily data limit which could prevent you from streaming for long periods of time. Most free VPNs have a data cap of 500MB per day. Considering that streaming can take up to 1GB per hour, you may struggle to finish an episode of your favorite series.

  • Free VPNs have a limited number of global servers to choose from, so you might not even be able to find the country that you are looking for. Furthermore, the servers are also heavily populated, which makes the connection even slower.

  • Free VPNs can sometimes be designed by dodgy third-party cybercriminals. Using these could lead to malware being installed on your devices.
