How to change your region on Netflix

There is a way to fool Netflix into believing you are in another region, if you are tired of Netflix's offerings in your country.
You can't change Netflix's region unless you move. However, you can use a VPN to get around this restriction.

Netflix's content is different depending on where you are located. Netflix U.S. offers a variety of content, while Netflix UK offers a wide range.

A VPN trick will fool Netflix into believing you are in another country. You'll then be able access the content from that country. VPN is a virtual private network which routes your internet traffic through its own servers. Your IP address will then be in the country you choose.

How to Change Netflix Region:

1. 1.Ensure you have an active Netflix Account

2. You can choose to use a paid VPN or a free Netflix VPN.

While both work, paid VPNs are faster and more widely available. While free VPNs don't often ask for you to sign up, they may still sell your data or bundle you with spyware. Mashable has a list of the top VPNs.

3. Sign up for a VPN service to download it to your Mac/PC

4. This can be done on your smartphone/tablet.

5. 5.

This is how we will show you, using PIA as an illustration.

Netflix will often attempt to block VPNs through banning IP addresses. This could cause some problems. PIA has servers that are labeled "Streaming" so it is worth checking those first.
