How to Watch All Netflix Streams With a VPN

Netflix may have millions of titles, but they're limited by region. If you're in a region where your favorite title isn't available, you can't watch it. A perfect example is the recent Marvel film, Doctor Strange, which is available to stream only on the Netflix Canada library and not on any other Netflix region. However, you can still watch any Netflix title in any country by simply using a VPN.

What Is a VPN and How Does It Work?

Virtual private networks (VPNs) encrypt (or conceal) your internet traffic signal and disguise your (and device) online identity in real-time. Third parties cannot track your online activities or steal your online data.

When you use a VPN, it hides your device's (or network) IP address by redirecting it through a pre-configured remote server. The server is run by your VPN’s host and might be located in different areas. This means that when you use a VPN to surf online, your traffic's data source is the private network’s server and not your ISP's (internet service provider) server. As a result, your ISP and particular third parties won't be able to see your digital footprint, the websites you visit, or the online data you send and receive.

This is why you can set your VPN to tell the Internet that you're in a particular region or country. If the network host has a server pointed to that region/country, you'll be able to surf or stream content from that region without a hustle. This is how you can Watch Netflix with a VPN.

Choose the Right VPN to Watch Netflix

Before you start watching Netflix with a VPN, you need to understand that not all private networks can help you watch Netflix. You need a stable and reliable VPN that hosts servers in different regions around the world that works with Netflix. Furthermore, Netflix has put VPN detection measures in place, which it periodically upgrades to fend off people who try to bypass their regional restrictions. This makes many networks struggle to give reliable and secure access to cross-region streaming on Netflix. The private network you choose should have some of the following capabilities:

• It doesn't halt your Internet and allows reliable, high-speed internet streaming
• Can work with various regional Netflix libraries and other video streaming (host servers in many regions)
• Provide uncrackable encryption and other security features
• Supports various operating systems and devices
• Doesn't log your information, which Netflix and third parties could use to identify you
• Has prompt customer support

How to Watch Netflix With a VPN

Now, if you want to stream Netflix with a VPN, proceed to the following steps:

1. Select a reliable VPN that works effectively with Netflix. Check to ensure it has servers in many regions, including the region with many of the Netflix titles you want.
2. Sign in to the account (or create and sign in).
3. Download the VPN app on the device you'll be watching Netflix on and sign into it again.
4. Now, connect to the country or region with the Netflix title you want or one with a compatible server. When this is done, your Netflix will automatically change to that region once you sign in.
5. Now, with the VPN turned on, log into your Netflix account and stream your title.

Remember: Many VPNs will work with Netflix, but have limits on compatible servers, as Netflix blocks IP addresses that they determine are from VPNs.

With VPNs, you don't have to forge your series when you travel or fail to watch a title because you're not in the supported region. VPN will help you watch your title and keep your surfing data safely.
