How to Keep Access to Netflix While Traveling

  • November 23, 2020
  • Jules

Traveling can be a great joy, but when you want a little touch of home, it can be nice to unwind while watching one of your favorite Netflix shows. What if your current country prevents you from watching certain Netflix shows, or even blocks the application as a whole? Here’s how you can keep your access to Netflix while traveling.

Licensing and Regional Content

It’s undoubtedly true that traveling is one of life’s greatest joys and privileges. There’s nothing quite like going to see the savannas of Africa, the jungles of South America, or the ancient and historical temples of many Asian countries in person. However, while traveling has its own charms and rewards, many of us still like to keep up with our favorite Netflix shows, especially since we pay a monthly subscription fee. The trouble here is that different countries have different licenses for various shows and content.

This is all related to the various TV and media laws that are in place in different countries. Some countries are much more relaxed than others; for instance, it’s a lot easier to find shows with nudity in Nordic countries than it is in places like India or China.

Ultimately, Netflix is obliged through international laws to stop users from bypassing national restrictions on certain types of video content. If Netflix detects that you are trying to watch something that isn’t allowed in your host country, you’ll be blocked.

How to Access Netflix on the Go

Fortunately, there is a solution for this issue, and you can keep your access to Netflix by using a VPN. 

“VPN” stands for virtual private network, and you access them through subscription-based services. These services allow you to connect to the internet through a digital tunnel that acts as a secure server. Without getting too technical, a VPN can help you remain anonymous and unseen by any Internet digital authorities while you browse the web or watch your favorite Netflix shows. Many people use VPNs for their anonymity benefits, surfing the web with total privacy and preventing their private data from being collected by snoopers or advertisers.

So how does a VPN help you watch Netflix in other countries? Most VPN services allow you to choose your “mask” IP address, allowing you to masquerade as an Internet user from another country. Let’s say that you want to watch a Netflix show that is allowed in the United States but is banned in China. You can simply set up your computer’s VPN application with an IP address from the U.S. and you’ll be set! Even better, most top VPN services for browsing Netflix include tutorials to walk you through this process step-by-step.

VPNs allow you to enjoy unprecedented anonymity and internet access anywhere in the world. You should definitely consider using a VPN for its streaming freedom benefits, along with the extra digital security and anonymity you’ll have as you travel.
