How to Watch Netflix in Germany

by Thomas Fals

Just because Netflix is blocked in Germany doesn’t mean you have to be left out. By tricking Netflix into thinking you are actually located in the US you can too enjoy the streaming goodness that is Netflix in Germany.

So Here is the Trick On How to Watch From Germany

The thing is, that Netflix will check your IP-address and find out you are in the Germany. This means that since you live outside the US you will be blocked out from watching Netflix. Luckily for us there is an easy way to get an IP located in the US. The answer is connecting to a Virtual Private Network also know as VPN. By connecting to a VPNserver in the US this server will act as a middleman between you and Netflix and then it will look like you have a US based IP. It is really that dead simple.

So Here is How You Get a Good VPN Connection

In order to stream video you need a fast and reliable VPN provider – yes a VPN connection is not free. However, it is dirt-cheap and together with a Netflix account you will save tons of money by not purchasing one DVD after the other. Trust me it is well worth it – anyhow I have tried quite a few VPN providers over the years and the one that has stood out above them all is Hide My Ass VPN. The service works great on any device and the streaming quality is really good. Best of all they manage to never to get blocked by Netflix.

The 6 or 12 months packages have the biggest discounts, but you could start with one month and take it from there. Once registered you will receive an e-mail with setup instructions. The setup is dead simple and the 2 minute job is well worth the effort it on order to open the doors from Netflix Germany.

Just remember to use a 5-digit zip code when you sign up for Netflix. Any combo will do but I used 90210
