Congrats. You figured out how to watch the likes of American Netflix in your country. But then it didn’t work. Right? You aren’t the only one. Guides tell you that connecting to an American server will be enough to watch American Netflix, but they miss out the key features because they want you to become a customer ASAP.
If you got your VPN service for free, forget about it.
FREE = TOO POPULAR.
No wonder why you can’t watch Netflix with a VPN if your VPN isn’t even fast enough to show a Netflix TV show or movie.
Now, VPN services don’t make internet fast but there are VPN’s that slow your internet down, and that keep it the same. Free ones, almost always slow you down. Some paid ones do too. It mostly goes down to where a VPN service buys their internet capacity. Hosting sites or IP transit providers directly. That’s a big question that you most likely won’t get an answer to.
But maybe your service isn’t free, and it’s not that issue...
Netflix is smart.
Think about it.
When Netflix in Australia has just 1/3 of American Netflix content, of course, people will want to access American Netflix.
And if Netflix let people do that, the people providing Netflix with rights to content will not be happy as it would essentially mean that Netflix is providing content to people illegally as they only have licenses to show certain content in specific content.
The result? Most VPN services don’t work with Netflix.
The best example of such VPN service? The one you were using, otherwise you wouldn’t be on this post.
How do you solve this issue? By using a VPN service that supports Netflix rather than just having servers in the US.
PrivateVPN comes with several American servers that support Netflix.
American Netflix has the most content by far. No denying this. It doesn’t have all of the content though. Certain TV shows and movies are not available in the US as somebody already might have exclusive rights for it. And that’s a big problem. Perhaps that’s why Netflix is investing billions in its own shows and movies.
If you want to watch Netflix in countries that don’t have the most content but have those little gems that are not available in other locations due to somebody owning rights to them, or them being too expensive, you should look for a VPN that supports the most Netflix locations.
And that service is called PrivateVPN.
Maybe it’s not that you can’t watch Netflix with a VPN, maybe it’s that you can’t watch a specific version of Netflix with a VPN.
That’s the issue we solve.
And not just with Netflix. We also are one of the very few VPN services that support DAZN which lets you watch live sports. We also, of course, support the likes of Hulu and Amazon Prime.
