Netflix offers different content in different countries.
So, if you want to watch exclusive content from a specific country, you can change the country by using a VPN.
This article will explain the method and precautions in detail.
What is a VPN?
VPN is an abbreviation for ‘Virtual Private Network’ and is a technology that helps you transmit data safely over the Internet.
This allows users to hide their actual location and access the Internet through a server in another country.
This allows you to watch content that is only available in that country.
What are the benefits of using a VPN on Netflix?
Netflix offers different content libraries by country.
For example, US Netflix may have movies or series that are not available in Korea.
Using a VPN, you can bypass these country-specific restrictions and enjoy various content.
How do I change Netflix countries using a VPN?
Select a VPN service
Choose a reliable VPN service.
For example, NordVPN offers servers in various countries such as the US, UK, and Australia, and boasts fast speeds.
NordVPN is provided for a fee. Paid services are reluctant to use because of their price.
You can use it without restrictions on changing countries, speed, or video streaming by using a paid service.
For how to use NordVPN for as little as $3 per month, please refer to [this post].
Install and connect to VPN
Install the selected VPN service and connect to a server in the country you want.
Access Netflix
When you access Netflix in the country connected through VPN, you can watch content from that country.
What are the precautions when using a VPN?
- Check the VPN usage policy: Netflix can restrict VPN usage. In particular, it is important to check the terms of use because viewing through VPN is not allowed for advertising memberships.
- Slowdown: Using a VPN may slow down your internet speed. Therefore, buffering may occur when streaming, so it is recommended to choose a VPN service that provides fast speeds.
- Legal Issues: VPN use may be restricted or illegal in some countries. Therefore, it is important to check local laws and use them.
Real Case
My friend lives in the US, but he likes Korean dramas.
So he uses a VPN to watch Korean Netflix content.
At first, he was worried that the setup would be complicated, but he said that he was able to enjoy Korean Netflix easily when he used ExpressVPN.
Conclusion
Using a VPN allows you to enjoy content from various countries on Netflix.
However, it is important to carefully check the precautions when using it and choose a reliable VPN service.
