If you’re traveling abroad or are based in certain countries, you might find that pesky georestrictions are blocking you from your favorite shows – or from Netflix entirely. Find out how you can access all of Netflix’s international catalogs from anywhere in the world – without limitations.

What Netflix Offers

With 137 million subscribers across the world (and over 58 million in the US alone), Netflix might just be the world’s premier online streaming service. It’s got movies. It’s got TV. It’s got classics. It’s got originals. Whether you’re looking for a quick distraction to break up your day or are ready to chill with something truly binge-worthy, Netflix always seems to have something for you on cue.

For $10.99 a month in the US, you can get a standard plan that lets you watch movies and TV in HD on two screens at a time. Netflix even allows you to download videos onto two phones or tablets for offline viewing. If that’s too much or too little, you can upgrade to four screens/devices for $13.99 a month or downgrade to one screen/device for just $7.99 a month.

Netflix also has one of the best suggestion algorithms in the business, giving you tons of recommendations based on your viewing history and personal tastes. You might also want to check out the new “Better Browse for Netflix” plugin that lets you browse all of Netflix’s secret categories!

Netflix’s Best Streaming Offerings

Netflix has always offered great classic shows like Breaking Bad, The Office, Mad Men, Black Mirror, The Twilight Zone, Parks and Recreation, Friends, Arrested Development, Better Call Saul and Sherlock. All that is just a handful of the top-level entertainment they offer – Netflix’s library is so vast, it’s hard not to find something to pique your interest. (And let’s be honest, who hasn’t streamed something wacky like Zombeavers out of pure fascination?)

Netflix is also known for producing great originals like Orange is the New Black, BoJack Horseman, House of Cards, Narcos, 13 Reasons Why, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and The Crown. One thing that separates Netflix’s originals from Hulu, Amazon and the rest of the pack is that it intentionally releases its new seasons all in one chunk – so you can watch them on your schedule, when you want to!

There’s lots of brand new stuff on Netflix this month too – movies included. Starting in November 2018, US residents can now watch great films like Children of Men, Cloverfield, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Doctor Strange, Good Will Hunting and National Lampoon’s Animal House.

Interestingly, Netflix released data last year that showed their selection is so good that new members take less than two weeks on average to start binge-watching a show. Three quarters even go back and rewatch their first binge!

How to Access Netflix From Anywhere

Netflix is available almost all over the world. But there are some important omissions to their coverage – most importantly, China. And even if Netflix is available in your country, you may not have access to the same movies and TV that (for example) US residents enjoy.

Most annoyingly, if you’re traveling abroad, the Netflix library will be different for you than it is at home. Whether you just want to come back to your hotel and recharge or watch a movie in the airport while you wait for your flight, unexpected georestrictions may get between you and the entertainment Netflix is charging you for.

To get around these restrictions, you’ll need a VPN. A VPN will allow you to change your IP address so that it’s based almost anywhere in the world. For example, if you’re on vacation in Thailand but still want to be able to binge-watch something from the familiar US catalog, just connect to your SaferVPN account, select our US Streaming server and start watching! (It’s that simple.)

Or if you’re at home and bored with your own country’s Netflix lineup, just change your VPN server location to somewhere else in the world and see what Netflix has to offer!

One thing to watch out for: If you’re using a low-quality VPN, Netflix might still keep you out of your account. That’s because many VPNs give the same exact IP address to all of their users connecting through the same server. As a result, services like Netflix don’t have to do much analysis to figure out which IP addresses are associated with VPNs (they just look for the IP addresses used by thousands of people at once).

SaferVPN is able to get around this in a pretty simple way: We just give unique IP addresses to everyone connecting through our streaming servers. Neither Netflix nor any other streaming service will be able to tell the difference.

VPNs also help you get around “throttling” – i.e., when your ISP decides to choke off your bandwidth because of what you’re doing online. Whether it’s because your ISP doesn’t like what you’re watching or it needs to relieve pressure on its system, data-intensive HD streaming like Netflix is a top throttling target. Fortunately, with a VPN, everything you do online is fully encrypted – so you can watch Netflix over a secure connection without worrying about a streaming slowdown.
