It means more of us are staying at home twiddling our thumbs. But it doesn\u2019t take long for those thumbs to reach for the remote and explore what Netflix has to offer.In fact, during the lockdowns, streaming services like Netflix have seen a surge in new and repeat customers streaming their shows. As the first lockdown took hold in the first three months of last year, 16 million new people signed up globally.There comes a time though when you\u2019re just fed up of what\u2019s available, and you\u2019d like to see what Netflix offers to other users around the world. There\u2019s only so many times you can watch Friends, right?Stop Withholding, NetflixYou\u2019d think that Netflix, like any other streaming service, would be the same wherever you are. The same look, layout and the same TV shows and movies for everyone to enjoy. Nope, that\u2019s not the case as Netflix is very different from country to country.Lots of TV companies and media companies strike deals with Netflix. For instance, when Titans was first broadcast on the unsuccessful DC Universe, the company made a deal to broadcast it on Netflix for a UK. This is similar to lots of shows where Netflix can get the rights to broadcast a show, but it depends on the country. You\u2019re allowed to see the shows in the country where you create your account \u2013 so you get a mixture of UK shows, US and rest of world. However, you don\u2019t get the full US content of movies and TV shows, nor what\u2019s available in all the other countries.Open the Library DoorA VPN is a handy tool you can use in your quest to open up more Netflix content. It works by hiding your IP address and allowing you to use another one. Every device has an IP address, and it can be used to ascertain your location. So, logging into Netflix from Manchester or London will show that you\u2019re based in the UK.With a VPN, your traffic channels through a server in any country. If that is in the US, then hey presto, you\u2019ve now got a US IP address, and when you log in to Netflix, you\u2019ll be logging in to the American one.You can use an economical and reliable VPN like the CyberGhost VPN, to unlock geo-blocked content. It also works when you\u2019re travelling \u2013 for instance if you\u2019ve decided to go travelling around the Far East and want to have a nice rest after all that backpacking, you might head straight to Netflix on your phone or tablet. But you might not want to watch everything the Thai Netflix service offers. You might be missing the box sets you started back at home. Simply log back in using a UK server on the VPN, and you can pick off right where you left off.How to Install and Get Started With a VPNPhoto: arrow \/ Adobe StockThe good news is that using a VPN, from installation to daily use, is a simple process. Once you\u2019ve downloaded it onto your device, whether it\u2019s a PC, Mac, Android or iOS device, it only takes a few clicks of the mouse or taps of the screen to use. To show you how easy it is, here\u2019s a quick step-by-step guide to installing and getting started with your new VPN:Find a reputable VPN supplier, read up on them \u2013 check out the reviews, way it works, and when you\u2019re happy with them, it\u2019s time to purchase it. It\u2019s also worth noting that some VPNs have free browser extensions you can try out, which is a great way to get to grips with how it works. And don\u2019t forget to check out for any special offers too.Made your decision? Great. Once you\u2019ve bought your VPN, it\u2019s time to install it. Hit that download button and install it on your device, be it your computer or mobile device.Now that you\u2019ve successfully installed your VPN, it\u2019s time to put it to use. If you\u2019re a true tech aficionado, there are manual ways to set up the VPN. Thankfully, the majority of VPNs these days have quick and easy installations. They\u2019ll run just like other apps that you have on your device. On your mobile devices, such as iPhones and Android smartphones, you can go to your settings section to add a VPN profile, which will then become active when you begin using the internet.Your VPN should come in a handy app format which makes it easy to navigate and use. You will see a list of the different countries and server exchanges. Simply select the one you want to connect to and then press the \u2018connect\u2019 button, which should be clearly signposted.There you have it; you\u2019re now connected to a different IP address. You\u2019ll see that you\u2019re connected on the VPN menu and when you head online, you\u2019ll be doing so from a different location.You can save your favourite servers on a favourite menu, which is excellent if you want quick access to another country to get your Netflix fix.When you\u2019re done, turn the VPN off. Or just leave it on to give you protection all the time.Extra Benefits, tooIn addition to opening up Netflix\u2019s full library, you can also use it to access other streaming services you can\u2019t get in your country. HBO Max, Hulu, YouTube channels which are restricted \u2013 you can get all around that with the VPN. You can also use it to access any restricted websites that are either blocked in your region or because of your internet service provider.VPNs are also a key component in battling against cybercrime. By using the VPN\u2019s IP address, you\u2019re also benefiting from their encryption technology as well, which means your digital origin is well hidden from prying eyes. This lets you go online on whatever device you\u2019re on, knowing that your personal details can\u2019t be hacked. This can come in handy, especially if you\u2019re using public wi-fi. You never know how secure a public wi-fi network is, but if you use it with a VPN, then you\u2019ve got that added security to protect yourself. You can go online, browse away and you won\u2019t run the risk of being a victim of cybercrime, which is estimated to cost us $1 trillion a year.VPNs are easy to use, whether you\u2019re using one on a phone, computer or on your TV. In fact, you can get a router VPN to use at home, so then anyone in the house watching Netflix can benefit from the VPN server \u2013 you can all catch up on your favourite Swedish soaps or US dramas. Otherwise, it\u2019s just a few simple taps, and you\u2019re all set."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Internet","item":"https:\/\/techloot.co.uk\/internet\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"How to Open up Netflix Content from Other Countries","item":"https:\/\/techloot.co.uk\/internet\/netflix-content-other-countries\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
